ToApp FAQ: Website to Android App Converter Help

Swipe down on the bottom navigation bar to hide it and browse in fullscreen. When the bar is hidden, press the volume up button to bring it back.

The volume up button is a quick, easy way to show the navigation bar without interfering with web page touch gestures. It works anywhere on the screen and helps prevent accidental taps. Once the navigation bar is visible, the volume buttons return to their normal function.

ToApp is a free website to Android app converter. Turn any website into a native Android app (APK) in one click — no coding needed. You can customize the app icon, name, bottom navigation bar, and dark mode.

ToApp supports most website types, including blogs, online stores, tools, business sites, and personal portfolios. If your site works in a browser, it can be converted into an Android app with ToApp.

Open ToApp, enter the website URL you want to convert, customize the app name and icon, and add page links to create a bottom navigation bar if needed. Then tap Generate to build your APK. No coding is required. See detailed steps →

You can customize the app icon, name, package name, and version. Add multiple pages and ToApp will generate a native bottom navigation bar automatically. You can also enable dark mode, edge-to-edge display, and choose whether to show a splash screen. All settings are controlled through a simple interface.

Yes, ToApp is completely free. All core features — website to app conversion, multi-page support, app customization, and APK generation — are free to use. Premium features may be added in the future, but the current free features will remain free.

Compress your entire website folder into a ZIP file, making sure index.html or index.htm is at the root as the entry point. The folder structure is preserved, so relative paths between files keep working.

Example structure:
myapp.zip
├── index.html (entry)
├── css/style.css
├── js/main.js
└── images/logo.png

Limits: max 500 files, max 50MB total size, no path traversal (e.g. ../), and no executables (.exe/.dll/.so/.apk/.bin/.sh/.bat/.cmd/.ps1).

Edge-to-edge display mode extends app content into the system status bar and navigation bar areas for an immersive fullscreen experience. You can enable or disable it in More Settings.

When enabled, the status bar and navigation bar become transparent and content reaches the screen edges. When disabled, the system bars have their own background and the content area is separated from them.

For the best fullscreen experience, use edge-to-edge display together with fullscreen mode.

Your ZIP must contain index.html or index.htm as the entry file (case-insensitive, so INDEX.HTML, Index.html, etc. are all recognized).

The entry file can be at the ZIP root level or up to 2 directory levels deep:
✅ index.html (root)
✅ subdir/index.html (1 level deep)
✅ a/b/index.html (2 levels deep)
❌ a/b/c/index.html (deeper than 2 levels — not detected)

Single HTML file mode has no such restriction — the file will be automatically renamed to index.html regardless of its original name.

The following are prohibited in filenames:
❌ Path traversal: .. (e.g. ../secret.html)
❌ Paths starting with / or \

The following executable extensions are automatically filtered:
.exe / .dll / .so / .apk / .bin / .sh / .bat / .cmd / .ps1

ZIP files should be compressed using UTF-8 encoding. If compressed on a Chinese Windows system using the default GBK encoding, Chinese characters in filenames may become garbled and file paths may not match. We recommend using 7-Zip or WinRAR with UTF-8 mode.

Single-level filenames should not exceed 255 bytes, and full paths should not exceed 4096 bytes.

ToApp runs entirely on your device. All app generation happens locally — no website data or personal information is uploaded to the cloud. Generated APKs are digitally signed and safe to install. Download ToApp for free →

Use ToApp's Project Export & Import feature to export all your app projects (including icons) as .toapp files for backup. You can also import .toapp or .json project files shared by others to migrate or collaborate on projects.

ToApp-generated apps are standard Android APKs that can technically be submitted to Google Play and other app stores. However, app stores have specific review policies for WebView-based apps — read the relevant developer policies before submitting. ToApp is best suited for personal use, internal distribution, and rapid prototyping. Compare web to app tools

ToApp has a built-in icon fetcher. After entering a URL, tap the Fetch Website Icon button and ToApp will automatically analyse the domain and retrieve its favicon. If multiple icons are available, you can choose the most suitable one from the list.
