The article explains how to Convert website to desktop and Mobile Application. You undoubtedly have some websites that you visit frequently, such as a specialized content management system (CMS) that you need for work, a time tracking website that you use to track and bill customer hours, or a game on addictive web. Follow the steps are given below.
The use of web applications is huge. It is no longer necessary to install any separate applications on your desktop computer to perform tasks such as word processing and image editing; everything can now be done using a browser. However, many websites and web applications would have been much more beneficial if they were standalone desktop programs in specific usage scenarios. Site-specific browsers can be helpful in this situation.
Site-specific browsers are small pieces of software that can only access one website. Using these programs has many benefits. One benefit of a separate app is that it would provide a distraction-free space for you to work or read the content of a given website. Additionally, you can use multiple instances of these site-specific browsers to log in to the same site using different login credentials. Here is the article to turn any website into desktop app on Windows 11.
2 ways to convert website to desktop
First of all, let’s create apps for Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS desktop platforms. These apps will be packaged in the respective platform formats, such as “.exe” for Windows. However, it may not create an installer, but an archive of the application files that you can find and run the executable in it.
Web2Desk
Web2Desk is a easy tool to convert websites to desktop apps. It allows you to convert any website into native application packages for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Step 1: Open ” Ia web browser.
Step 2: After seeing the tool there, enter your website address (eg “ in the screenshot), the name of the website, its icon and your email in the respective fields of the form provided.
Step 3: Finally, press the “create now” button to create native desktop applications.
Step 4: Web2Desk will show progress bars for creating packages for all three supported platforms Windows, macOS and Linux. When a progress bar is successful for a platform, you can click the “Download now” button.
Step 5: After downloading a file, you can unzip it and run the executable. For example, you need to run the “.exe” file on Windows.
That’s all about building Windows apps quickly using the online tool called Web2Desk. As I shared above, check any downloaded file using an antivirus tool (you can check the prerequisites section above for details).
To apply
Alternatively, you can create an application for Google Chrome and launch it using the search giant’s browser on any operating system that runs Google Chrome and that includes Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. I know it’s not a native app for any platform other than Chrome OS, but it’s more platform independent. Applicationize is a free tool to create applications directly from websites. It creates an application for Google Chrome (which also works on Chrome OS) that acts as a wrapper for the website. What I like about Google Chrome apps is, they act more like native apps, as they appear in the launcher (Start menu for Windows). Okay, let’s convert a website into an app for Google Chrome. Follow the steps below to generate extensions as applications using Applicationize:
Step 1: Open “ in a browser.
Step 2: Enter your website address in the text box labeled “web application URL”
Step 3: Click on the text “(advanced options)” below the text box if you want to check and configure some more settings to create the extension.
Step 4: Finally, click on button called “Generate and Download Chrome Extension” to download the app (as an extension) for Chrome OS.
Step 5: Applicationize will create and trigger a download of your app. Once downloaded (a file with a name that ends with “.crx”), you can drag and drop the extension into Chrome extensions.
Mobile platforms
Second, let’s create apps for the mobile Android platforms, but not iOS. It’s because I couldn’t find any app builder to convert websites to iOS apps at zero cost unfortunately. As with desktop platforms, these apps will be packaged in the platforms’ native formats, eg “.apk” for Android.
AppsGeyser
AppsGeyser is a beautiful tool to create mobile applications. It provides several templates to build a variety of applications, including a website template to make a mobile application for a website. You will feel good about home with AppsGeyser, thanks to its intuitive interface, in addition to being fast in generating applications. While it is free to create Android apps with AppsGeyser, it is not free to publish an app on the Google Play Store as Google charges a fee. Of course you can publish your app to other app markets for free, such as Aptoide and GetJar. Alternatively, you can also host your application (“.apk” file) on your website. When you’re ready to build your app, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Open “ (AppsGeyser) in a browser.
Step 2: Click on the “CREATE NOW FOR FREE” button to start the process.
Step 3: Select the Web site model from the list shown in “CREATE APP”.
