Free HTML to APK

RPG Maker MV and MZ to APK

Deploy an RPG Maker MV or MZ game for web browsers and turn it into a signed Android APK and AAB for free, without Cordova or Android Studio.

Free HTML to APK turns the HTML5 export of a RPG Maker MV / MZ game into a signed Android app. RPG Maker MV and MZ games run on HTML5, so the browser deployment is all you need. The official Android route asks you to set up Cordova or Android Studio yourself. Free HTML to APK replaces that whole step.

Step 1: export from RPG Maker MV / MZ

  1. Open File → Deployment.
  2. Choose Web browsers/Android/iOS as the platform. Tick Exclude unused files to keep the game small.
  3. Open the output folder and check that index.html is at the top level with the js/, data/, img/ and audio/ folders.
  4. Zip the contents of the folder and upload the ZIP.

Step 2: build the APK

  1. Open the HTML to APK converter and choose ZIP (or HTML for a single file).
  2. Upload your export, then type the app name and a package name such as com.yourstudio.game.
  3. On the display step, turn on Full screen and lock the orientation your game uses.
  4. Create a signing key (or upload yours), press Build, and download the APK to test and the AAB for Google Play.

The website is free, with no account and no watermark. You can also build on your phone with the Android app, which has no file size limit.

Tips for RPG Maker MV / MZ games on phones

  • RPG Maker games with music are often bigger than 60 MB. Build those in the Android app, which has no size limit, or convert audio to smaller files first.
  • MZ shows touch controls by itself. For MV, a touch-input plugin makes menus easier to use on a phone.
  • Lock the builder's orientation to landscape: RPG Maker screens are designed for it.
  • Save files use the WebView's local storage and stay on the phone between launches.

Test before you publish

Install the APK on a phone (allow Install unknown apps for the app you open it with), then play a full session: start, lose, restart, go to the home screen and come back, and check that saves and sound survive. When it all works, upload the AAB to Google Play. The publishing guide walks through Play Console, and new personal accounts need a 12-tester closed test first.

Questions

Does it work with MV and MZ?

Yes, both. Older XP, VX and VX Ace games are not HTML5, so they cannot be converted this way.

Will plugins work?

Plugins that work in a browser work in the app. Plugins that need Node.js (desktop-only file access) do not.

Can I sell the game on Google Play?

Yes. Upload the AAB in Play Console and set a price, or keep it free with AdMob ads.
