+
+## Why This Tool?
+
+PyInstaller is powerful but the command-line workflow gets repetitive. This tool wraps it in a clean interface with:
+
+- Visual options instead of remembering flags
+- Real-time build output with error highlighting
+- Save/load build presets for different projects
+- Plugin system for custom post-build tasks
+- Dark and light themes
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/AIMasterRace/PythonToEXE.git
+cd PythonToEXE
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python run.py
+```
+
+That's it. The window opens, you're ready to build.

+## Features
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| One-File / One-Dir | Choose between single exe or folder output |
+| Console Toggle | Hide console window for GUI apps |
+| Icon Support | Custom `.ico` file for your executable |
+| Hidden Imports | Add modules PyInstaller misses |
+| Exclude Modules | Remove unwanted modules (reduce size) |
+| Data Files | Bundle assets, configs, etc. |
+| Clean Build | Auto-cleanup previous build cache |
+| Real-time Logs | Watch build progress live |
+| Presets | Save and load build configurations |
+| Themes | Dark and light mode |
+| Plugins | Run custom tasks after build |
+
+---
+
+## Build Options Explained
+
+**One File** — Packs everything into a single `.exe`. Slower startup but easy to distribute.
+
+**One Directory** — Creates a folder with `.exe` + dependencies. Faster startup.
+
+**Console Window** — Keep checked for CLI apps. Uncheck for GUI apps (no black window).
+
+**Clean Build** — Removes old build cache. Recommended to avoid stale file issues.
+
+**Exclude Modules** — Comma-separated list. Example: `tkinter, unittest, pydoc`
+
+---
+
+## Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| `F5` | Start Build |
+| `Ctrl+N` | New Project |
+| `Ctrl+O` | Open Script |
+| `Ctrl+S` | Save Preset |
+| `Ctrl+L` | Load Preset |
+| `Ctrl+T` | Toggle Theme |
+| `Ctrl+Shift+C` | Clear Logs |
+
+---
+
+## Plugins
+
+The tool supports plugins for post-build automation. Two examples included:
+
+- **Zip Output** — Creates a `.zip` archive of the build
+- **Clean Build Artifacts** — Removes `.spec` and `build/` folder
