This page provides information about the Standalone Executable export function for Windows.


## **Overview**

---

Using the Standalone Executable export function, you can export the current Enscape model into a standalone executable. The .exe file provides the same experience and quality as the full Enscape, but does not require Enscape or the CAD to run. It demands the same [System Requirements as Enscape itself](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ERHINO/pages/128061405), and it is one of the features that is disabled in the trial version of Enscape. All standalone files are VR compatible, however.

You can download a free sample Standalone Executable from [here](https://enscape3d.com/free-sample-projects/). For an in-depth look at all of the features of the Standalone Executable, refer to [this post](https://learn.enscape3d.com/blog/best-practice-how-to-use-executables-for-presentation/) on our Blog.


## **How to Export a Standalone Executable File**

---

To export your Enscape model, first make sure that Enscape is running. If Enscape is not running, you won’t be able to export the file. You can simply click on the **Export **button, or click on the small arrow next to it and then choose the **Exe Standalone** option.



Once selected, a dialog will open asking you to specify the location you want to export the **Exe Standalone** to, and once the location has been chosen, the export begins and you will be shown an export process bar.

> It is not possible to compile an executable file that exceeds 2GB, which is a universal limitation and not something that is dictated by Enscape. If you receive a notification from Enscape informing you that the executable can not be exported because it will exceed this limitation, then you will need to try to reduce the project file’s geometry / poly count and texture size / number before exporting the executable.

You can quickly upload them via the cloudsharing service of your choice, e.g. Dropbox or Google Drive.


## **System Requirements**

---

The requirements for the Standalone Executable file are the same as for the full version of Enscape. Have a look at the [System Requirements](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ERHINO/pages/128061405) page.
