PS2EXE is a PowerShell module that compiles PowerShell 5.x scripts into standalone Windows executables, with optional GUI (Windows Forms) output and a graphical front end (Win-PS2EXE). It supports embedding icons, files, version metadata, and options like requireAdmin or noConsole.

Use cases

• convert powershell script to exe
• compile ps1 to standalone executable
• package powershell script as windows executable
• hide powershell console window in compiled app
• add icon and version info to powershell exe
• build gui app from powershell script

When to choose

• You need to distribute a PowerShell script to Windows users as a single .exe
• You want a GUI front end or no console window for a PowerShell script
• You want to embed resources, icons, or metadata into a compiled script

When to avoid

• Your scripts target PowerShell 7/Core or rely on non-5.x compatible features
• You need real protection of script source - the exe can be decompiled back to script
• You need cross-platform executables for Linux or macOS
