Why APK Extractor?

Everything runs locally on your machine. Your apps and device data never leave your network.
Modern Android apps often use split APKs. APK Extractor automatically detects and compiles them into XAPK format for easy installation.
Save WiFi devices for quick reconnection, assign custom names to devices, and switch between multiple connected devices instantly.
The web interface uses intelligent caching and parallel processing to load hundreds of apps in seconds without blocking.
Use the modern web UI for convenience or the CLI for automation and scripting. Both interfaces share the same powerful features.

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11
  • Node.js (v16 or higher) for web interface
  • Android device with USB debugging enabled
  • ADB (automatically downloaded if not installed)
ADB (Android Debug Bridge) can be automatically downloaded and configured by APK Extractor if you don’t have it installed.
