HTML to EXE tool (HTM2EXE) release timeline on CSDN:
| serial number | time | Link |
| 1 | 2022-08-17 | Initial version of HTML to EXE tool (HTML App Build) |
| 2 | 2023-02-18 | The latest version of HTML to EXE tool (HTML App Build) |
| 3 | 2023-06-23 ( actually unpublished, plan to charge and change to completely free ) | HTML to EXE tool (HTML App Build) subscription version |
| 4 | 2023-07-01 | HTML to EXE tool (HTML App Build) free version |
The original 2022-08-17 version of the HTML to EXE tool can convert the Web front end into an EXE execution program for Windows32 or 64. At that time, due to time constraints, it could not be optimized, especially the browser used the IE kernel, so there would be many problems when using it. Later, the 2023-02-18 version used Microsoft's Google Chromium kernel browser WebView2, and used The latest version is the evergreen version of WebView2, and Microsoft will automatically upgrade it. First, there will be no compatibility issues, and second, there will be no stability issues.
2023-06-23 Completed the subscription version. When it was ready to be released that day, I changed my attention. The original plan required a paid subscription and changed it to a completely free trial. So this version was not released, and in the next few days, the charging function was completely removed and changed to a free version, so it became a free version released on 2023-07-01!
2023-07-01 The free official version will be released soon. The function of the free version is based on the use of the latest version of 2023-02-18 , and according to your feedback on the use of suggestions, a lot of functional improvements have been made. Here I would like to thank the friends who made suggestions.
The free version is available for everyone to use for free, without any restrictions on the functions. If it really creates value for you, you can donate it voluntarily!

Instructions for using the permanent free version:
1. How to package a website or Web project?
HTML2EXE supports directly packaging websites into EXE files, and also supports packaging Web projects into EXE files. The packaged result files support win32 and win64.
- To package URL directly, please select Website as True. Then enter the URL in the edit box below.
- If you want to package a web project, please select Website as False, then press the folder selection button to select the folder containing the index.html file, or drag the web project folder containing index.html directly to the program interface, the program It will automatically search for the index.html file, and if there is an index.html file, it will automatically enter the folder into the edit box. Whether you select a folder or drag it, if the folder does not contain index.html, the program will not enter the directory.
2. How to set the EXE properties of the result generated by packaging?
The generated result EXE can set the following properties:
| serial number | Attributes | illustrate |
| 1 | Icon | The icon of the generated result EXE, the suffix must be .ico icon file, the size includes: 16 x 16、24 x 24、32 x 32、48 x 48、96 x 96、256 x 256 |
| 2 | Caption | The title of the generated result EXE program, that is, the title of the top column. |
| 3 | Version | The version of the resulting EXE program generated. Format: n1.n2.n3.n4, n is an integer. For example: 1.0.0.0. It can be seen in the file version/product version in the right-click property of the generated EXE file -> detailed information . |
| 4 | ProductName | Product name, right-click properties of the generated EXE file -> product name in detailed information to see. |
3. How to name the resulting EXE file?
It can be set by Build EXE as : parameter. In order to be safe and reliable, the resulting file name cannot be entered directly in the edit box. The edit box behind is read-only. The EXE file name can only be opened and selected through the folder icon behind, and then 
input the name of the EXE file to be generated.
四、生成的结果EXE程序运行状态如何设置？
| 序号 | 参数名称 | 说明 |
| 1 | One Instance | 是否只允许运行一个实例，默认是。表示一个结果程序只能有一个实例在运行，如果已经运行了程序，再次运行程序会激活前面已经启动的实例。 |
| 2 | Border Sizeable | 是否允许调整生成的EXE文件的显示大小，默认是。默认情况下允许调整 |
| 3 | StapOnTop | 是否程序一直显示在最前端，默认不是。如果选择是，则程序启动后，始终是在其他程序的上面。 |
| 4 | PrivateMode | 程序运行后，界面中右键菜单的模式，如果选择，则表示是黑色模式，否则表示正常模式，默认是黑色模式。 |
| 5 | Back Menu | 是否允许在程序界面上右键显示返回菜单，默认是。如果选择否则不会显示返回菜单。 |
| 6 | Image Menu | 是否允许在程序界面图片上右键显示保存菜单，默认否，不允许显示保存菜单。 |
| 7 | Win32、Win64 | 选择最终生成的EXE文件是64位还是32位。默认是32位。 |
| 8 | Maximized | 生成的EXE文件启动时是否最大化，默认是。如果不勾选，则程序启动的界面大小按照Width 和 Height 参数给定为准。 |
| 9 | Width、Height | 表示程序初始界面大小，默认是：1280 x 720 。该参数受到 Maximized 参数的影响，只有 Maximized 参数为否的时候，这两个参数才起作用。 |
五、生成的EXE文件被误认为有病毒，如何处理？
由于生成过程中在EXE文件后面附加了Web数据，所以有部分朋友反馈生成的EXE文件被杀毒程序误认为有病毒，解决的办法是将生成的EXE文件加入到杀毒程序的白名单中。
六、生成的EXE文件运行会在程序目录下生成一些文件，为什么？
Since Microsoft's WebView2 ( Chromium ) kernel is used , these files are required at runtime, so the program will automatically release the files and directories required by Webview2. For example: WebView2Loader.dll file and xxx.WebView2 directory. If these files are deleted, the program will automatically create them (for details, please refer to Microsoft Webview2 Kernel Instructions).
7. The HTML2EXE program is very easy to use, how is it charged?
The HTML2EXE program was developed by sensor wu. It has received good response from users of the initial version and the latest version, and has been favored by everyone. Many users are willing to pay for it (actually, the first two versions are free). Originally planned to develop a subscription version, and it has already been developed, but on the day of the official launch (2023-06-23), we suddenly changed our mind, no subscription is required, it is free, completely free! Although I developed this tool on and off for nearly a year (2022-08-17 to 2023-06-23), I also gave up rest to improve everyone's needs, but this is not important anymore. We decided to give this tool to everyone for free. If it really helps you, just give it a reward! If it is really useful, please recommend it to other friends!
Official launch time: 2023-07-01 Stay tuned!
