How to convert APK to ZIP

  1. Add your APK apps

    Drop APK files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. ZIP is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the ZIP, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The APK to ZIP converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your apps are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

APK to ZIP: what to expect

APK is an Android installer, and unpacking it does not give you readable source code. ZIP opens on every computer and phone without extra software. APK is at home in installing Android apps; ZIP is the usual choice for sending several files as one.

A password-protected archive is refused, since its contents cannot be read without the password. An APK is a ZIP archive with a signature. The files inside are repacked unchanged, but the new ZIP is no longer signed, so it will not install.

APK vs ZIP

APK

Android package

An APK is the file Android installs an app from. It is a signed ZIP archive holding the compiled code, resources, images and a manifest. Stores deliver apps in newer formats today, but APKs remain the format for sideloading and for analysing an app.

Opens in Android (to install it) and any ZIP tool (to look inside)

ZIP

ZIP archive

ZIP bundles files and folders into one compressed file. Every operating system can open it without installing anything, which makes it the safe choice for sharing.

Opens in Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android without extra software

Questions

Are my apps uploaded anywhere?

No. The APK to ZIP conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting APK to ZIP?

No. The files inside are repackaged unchanged.

Can I convert several APK files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert APK to ZIP on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the APK file, press Convert and save the ZIP. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. An archive can be up to 500 MB, unpack to at most 1 GB and hold up to 50,000 files; beyond those limits the page says so. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
