Converts .py to .exe using a simple graphical interface.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to convert Python scripts to Windows executables and prefer a graphical workflow over command-line PyInstaller. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It is not suitable if you need cross-platform executables (macOS, Linux) or if PyInstaller itself cannot handle your dependencies.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Chrome browser required for the default interface; if Chrome is not installed, the system default browser will be used instead.
- Python 3.6 or later required.
- Low friction installation via pip with no compiled dependencies.

What it is and what it does
Auto PY to EXE wraps PyInstaller behind a browser-based graphical interface, letting you convert Python scripts to Windows executables without learning PyInstaller's command-line syntax. You select your script, optionally add an icon or bundle extra files, and click a button to generate the .exe in an output folder. It depends on Eel for the web UI, PyInstaller for the actual compilation, and requests for any HTTP operations.
The tool is aimed at developers who want to distribute Python applications as standalone executables without exposing source code or requiring users to have Python installed. It handles common packaging scenarios—console apps, GUI applications, bundled assets, and persistent data—through a straightforward form-based workflow. Configuration can be saved and reused as JSON, and the interface supports multiple languages.
Use it for
- Package a Python GUI application (tkinter, PyQt, etc.) as a single .exe for distribution to end users.
- Convert a command-line Python tool into a Windows executable for non-technical users.
- Bundle a Python script with data files, images, or databases into a portable .exe.
- Automate repeated conversions by saving and reusing JSON configuration files.
- Distribute Python scripts without revealing source code or requiring Python installation on the target machine.
