Convert Python to EXE Online (Real PyInstaller Build)

Turn a Python script into a standalone .exe online — a GitHub Actions workflow builds Windows, macOS & Linux executables on real runners. Free.

Why use this tool?

Use this tool to turn a Python program into a standalone executable your users can run without Python installed — without setting up a build machine. Because PyInstaller can't cross-compile (a Windows .exe must be built on Windows, and so on), it generates a GitHub Actions workflow that builds your app on real Windows, macOS and Linux runners and hands you the finished executables as downloadable artifacts. Prefer to build locally? It also gives you the exact PyInstaller command and a matching .spec file.

Build Options
pip install pyinstaller

pyinstaller --onefile --clean --noconfirm main.py
PyInstaller does not cross-compile — run this on the OS you are targeting (build a Windows .exe on Windows, etc.), or use the Cloud build tab to build all OSes on GitHub Actions. Save the spec as main.spec and rebuild with pyinstaller main.spec.

About Python to EXE Online

PyInstaller is the standard way to package a Python script into a single standalone executable, but it does not cross-compile: a Windows .exe must be built on Windows, a macOS app on macOS, and a Linux binary on Linux. That normally means owning three machines.

The Cloud build tab solves this by generating a ready-to-use GitHub Actions workflow. Commit it to your repository and GitHub's own Windows, macOS and Linux runners build a real executable for each OS — under your account, at no cost on public repos — and upload each one as a downloadable artifact. It's a genuine 'Python to EXE online' build, without you hosting any build infrastructure.

You configure everything here — one-file or one-folder bundle, console or windowed mode, a custom icon, bundled data files and hidden imports — and the tool produces the workflow, the equivalent pyinstaller command, and a .spec file for local or version-controlled builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Cloud build tab generates a GitHub Actions workflow you commit to your repo; GitHub's real Windows, macOS and Linux runners build actual executables with PyInstaller and upload each as a downloadable artifact — no local build machine needed, and free on public repositories.
