Welcome to WebToAppConvert

What WebToAppConvert is, who it's for, and how to get the most out of the platform. Start here if you're new.

WebToAppConvert turns any existing website into a native Android app. You provide your website URL, configure how the app should look and behave, and the platform builds a properly signed Android App Bundle (AAB) that you can submit directly to Google Play.

You don't need to write code, install Android Studio, or understand Gradle. The build server handles all of that.

Who This Platform Is For

WebToAppConvert is designed for three types of users:

Business Owners and Bloggers

If you have an existing website (a small business site, an online store, a WordPress blog, a booking platform) and you want to offer your customers and readers an Android app, this is the most direct path. No development team required. The typical workflow from sign-up to Play Store submission takes an afternoon.

Freelancers and Agencies

If you build websites professionally and want to offer mobile apps as an additional service, WebToAppConvert gives you a repeatable, low-overhead build pipeline. Configure the app, test with a debug build, deliver a Professional build to the client, and move on. Signing keys are managed per app, and you can manage multiple client projects from a single account.

Technical Users Who Want Control Without Custom Development

If you understand Android concepts but don't want to set up an Android project from scratch every time, the platform gives you fine-grained control over permissions, WebView settings, deep linking, Firebase configuration, and signing: without the surrounding development overhead.

What You Can Build

  • A standard WebView app that loads your website URL in a full-screen Android container
  • An app with custom branding: app icon, splash screen, and intro screens
  • An app with Firebase Cloud Messaging push notifications
  • An app with Google AdMob monetization (banner and interstitial ads)
  • An app with file upload and download capabilities
  • An app with custom signing using your own .jks keystore

What You Cannot Build (Yet)

  • iOS apps: WebToAppConvert is Android-only
  • Native apps with custom Kotlin/Java code beyond the WebView shell
  • Apps that function offline without a network connection (beyond standard browser caching)

How Credits Work

Builds cost credits. Different build tiers use different amounts:

  • Debug build: 10 credits: unsigned APK for device testing, cannot be published to Google Play
  • Starter build: 50 credits: signed AAB with custom branding, ready for Google Play
  • Professional build: 100 credits: everything in Starter plus push notifications, AdMob, file upload/download

Credit packs start at $15 for 150 credits. Credits never expire on paid accounts. Free accounts receive 20 credits on signup.
