Website2Desktop is an innovative solution that converts websites and web-based applications into native desktop applications for Windows and MacOS. You can precisely control every aspect of the desktop application due to extensive configuration options.

For example,

  • the general properties (name, URL, icon)
  • the operating system (Windows or MacOS)
  • the window settings (window size, always on top, ...)
  • the internal browser settings (incognito mode, zoom, scrollbars, cookies, external domains, ...)
  • and other options such as splash screen, password protection, or trial period

can be flexibly set and adjusted at any time in the customer area.

Website2Desktop supports 9 languages and over 10000 users from various industries have already converted their websites and web applications into professional desktop applications.

Website2Desktop uses modern WebView technology to convert websites and web applications into native desktop applications that look and feel just like traditional applications to end users. Under the hood, a lightweight Chromium instance (based on the Chromium Embedded Framework) runs web content in a frameless browser container.

MacOS version 11.x is supported, 12.x or later is recommended. Windows version 10 is supported, version 11 is recommended. Additionally, we recommend:

  • CPU: Dual-core Intel i5 (6th generation or newer) or equivalent AMD/Apple Silicon. 2 GHz or faster recommended.
  • RAM: 4 GB (8 GB recommended)
  • GPU: Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5000 or newer, or any dedicated GPU supporting OpenGL 3.2 / DirectX 11 or higher. Please ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
  • Storage: At least 500 MB of free disk space

Converting websites and web applications into desktop applications makes sense for businesses for various reasons.

  • Brand Loyalty: A desktop application provides a constant presence on the customer’s computer. Unlike a website that customers visit only when necessary, a desktop app stays visible and accessible, helping to strengthen brand awareness and encouraging more frequent interaction with the brand.
  • Professionalism: A desktop application reflects a high level of professionalism and demonstrates the brand’s commitment to delivering quality digital experiences. This can greatly improve how the brand is perceived, positioning it as a technology leader and strengthening trust in its products and services.
  • Exclusivity: A desktop application can be used to create an exclusive brand experience for select customers, enhancing the perception of a premium offering. Its limited availability on Windows or MacOS platforms can add a sense of exclusivity and prestige.
  • Sense of Security: A desktop application often gives customers a greater sense of security compared to a web browser. This enhanced perception of safety can increase trust and encourage users to complete important actions, such as making a purchase.
  • Performance: A desktop application offers better performance than a web browser, as it isn’t affected by manually installed plugins or browser limitations. This smoother, faster user experience leads to higher customer satisfaction and increased conversion rates.
  • Focus: A desktop application can be integrated seamlessly into customers’ or employees’ workflows. Unlike web browsers, which can become cluttered with multiple tabs and windows, desktop apps support a more focused and distraction-free working environment.
