APK Extractor: Backup Apps

APK Extractor helps you save the apps installed on your device as APK files for backup and transfer.

Built for speed and simplicity:

- Browse installed apps with version, size, and install details

- Extract single APK installs in one tap

- Handle split installs by packaging base + split APKs into one APKS file

- Select multiple apps and extract in batch with progress feedback

- Share extracted files directly through Android share sheet

- Search and filter quickly to find what you need

- Customize output filenames (app name, package, version name, version code)

Designed for privacy:

- Fully offline app experience

- No ads

- No account required

- No internet permission in the app manifest

Where files are saved:

- Single-package installs: Downloads/ApkExtractor/*.apk

- Split installs: Downloads/ApkExtractor/*.apks

Why APKS for split apps?

Some apps are installed as multiple split packages (for language, screen density, or CPU architecture). APK Extractor bundles all required parts into one APKS file so you can keep a complete backup.

Permission transparency:

- QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES: needed to show installed apps on Android 11+

- READ/WRITE external storage (legacy Android only): supports compatibility with older devices

- REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES: allows installation flow from extracted files

APK Extractor is a practical utility for migration, offline backups, and local app management.
