Works straight from the built-in yourapp.base44.app URL you get on Base44's Free plan — no Builder-plan upgrade (which Base44's own app-store file download requires, as of August 2026) and no Google Play developer account. Publish, paste the link, and a signed Android APK is ready in about 60 seconds.

Base44 is a no-code AI platform for building apps, websites and AI agents. You describe what you want in plain language, and Base44 generates the structure, design and logic for you — with backend and storage built in, an authentication system, a database, and one-click integrations with tools like Slack, Google Calendar and HubSpot.
Publishing takes one click: when your app is ready, it's instantly live and shareable at a free built-in URL like yourapp.base44.app, or on a custom domain — which, as of August 2026, starts on Base44's Starter plan at $16/mo billed annually. Base44 was acquired by Wix in June 2025.
That published URL is all you need here. Free App Maker is a website to APK converter: paste your live Base44 link and it comes back as a signed Android app your users can install.

Your Base44 app is powerful — but it lives only in a browser tab. Android users can't find it in the Play Store, can't add it to their home screen with a real icon, and can lose the link the moment they clear their browser history. That's a real distribution gap for any serious product.
An Android APK closes most of that gap. Users install it once, tap the icon on their home screen, and the app opens straight to your Base44 project — no URL to remember, no browser chrome in the way. And because the APK wraps your live link, the same URL to APK conversion works for any Base44 app you publish, on its built-in address or your own domain.
For startups and indie founders, distributing via Android APK also means you can reach users through direct download links, beta testing groups, or enterprise MDM systems — without waiting for Play Store approval. Share an APK link and anyone who allows the install can put your Base44 app on their phone.
No Android Studio. No Gradle. No Java. Just paste your URL and your APK is ready in about a minute.
In the Base44 editor, click Publish — your app goes live instantly at its free built-in URL, which looks like https://yourapp.base44.app (you can personalize it under Dashboard → Domains), or at your custom domain if you connected one. Unpublished edits stay private, so publish your latest version first.

Paste your URL into Free App Maker at freeappmaker.org. Enter a name for your Android app (this appears under the home screen icon) and your email address. Optionally upload a square 1024×1024 PNG icon — if you skip it, we generate a clean default icon automatically from your app name.
Free App Maker wraps your Base44 URL into a WebView APK and signs it — the build takes about 60 seconds, and your signed APK is delivered on your build screen, with any one-time unlock and its exact price always shown before you pay. Open the file on any Android device, tap Install, and your Base44 app runs as a standalone app with its own home screen icon.
Ready to convert your Base44 app right now?
Convert Free — Takes About 60 Seconds →From solo founders to enterprise teams, converting a Base44 app to Android opens distribution channels the web alone can't reach.
You described your MVP to Base44 and it built the whole stack — interface, database, auth. Converting it to an Android APK lets you distribute it to beta users directly — no Play Store listing required yet. Share the APK link in your Discord, Reddit post, or Product Hunt launch and collect feedback from Android users without waiting on a store listing.
Your client asked for an Android app on top of the web version you built in Base44. Converting the live Base44 URL to an APK gives you an installable Android build the same day. Present it at the client meeting, and move toward a Play Store listing when they're ready to launch officially.
If your hackathon asks for an installable build alongside the web demo, converting your Base44 project to an APK takes about 60 seconds and gives your team an Android entry to submit — no Android toolchain to learn the night before judging.
Internal dashboards, field-worker tools, and warehouse management apps built in Base44 can be distributed as APKs through your company's Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. No Play Store account or listing needed — deploy directly to company-managed Android devices.
Free App Maker uses a full Android WebView, which means most modern web features behave much as they do in Chrome — as long as your published Base44 URL stays online. Here's a practical breakdown for Base44 projects.

The real choices a Base44 builder faces are Base44's own app-store export and a handful of named wrapper services. Every price below is quoted from that vendor's own pricing page and is stated as of August 2026.
| Compared on | Free App Maker ✓ | Base44's own app-store export | Natively | Median.co | WebViewGold |

| Auto-updates when you hit Publish in Base44 | ✓ Yes — the APK loads your live Base44 URL at runtime | No — the AAB is a build; store updates go through Google Play review | Not stated on these vendors' own pricing pages — check with each vendor | ||
Competitor pricing checked 26 August 2026 against each vendor's own pricing page: Base44 app-store docs, Base44 pricing, Natively, Median.co, WebViewGold. Google Play's registration fee per Google Play Console Help. Prices change — check each vendor before you buy.
The free DIY route is Capacitor — MIT-licensed and free, but its own documentation says an Android build needs "Android Studio and an Android SDK installation", which is the toolchain this page exists to skip. And the two paths that generate store files, Base44's export and Median.co, target a Google Play listing; Free App Maker targets the step before it — a signed APK you can install and share directly, today, from any published URL.

Beyond the speed, there are real technical and strategic advantages to converting your Base44 app with us.
Because the APK loads your live Base44 URL at runtime, changes you publish in Base44 show up the next time the Android app loads. No store review, no new build, no forced update prompt for users — just open the app and get the latest version.
The APKs we generate are digitally signed, so they install cleanly once you allow installs from your source. Android may still show a caution screen for an app from a developer it doesn't recognize. For a Google Play listing you need an AAB rather than an APK — it comes in our Play Store Pack.
Installing Android Studio and running a full Gradle build is a project in itself. Free App Maker's build pipeline runs server-side in optimized containers and delivers your APK in about 60 seconds, so trying a different app name or icon means rebuilding rather than reconfiguring.
Android launchers ask for your icon at every screen density Android needs, from the smallest to the largest. Free App Maker generates those sizes from a single 1024×1024 PNG. No Figma, no Photoshop, no manual export needed. We generate a default icon if you don't have one.
Base44's own app-store file download sits behind its Builder plan, as of August 2026. Free App Maker only needs a URL that loads, so a published app on Base44's Free plan qualifies. And once you unlock the download the APK belongs to you — no Free App Maker splash screen, no attribution requirement, no ongoing dependency on us.

Our APKs run on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and above. Whether your users are on budget Samsung Galaxy handsets or Pixel flagships, the Android System WebView is kept up to date through the Google Play Store on devices that have it.
