What is APK?

APK is Android file extension which stands for Android Package Kit (also Android Application Package). To install an app on Android device you need the APK file just like you need an EXE file to install software on the Windows operating system.

The process of manually downloading the APK using online APK downloader and installing the app is called sideloading. You can also download apps from the Google Play Store app without having to download the APKs from your mobile device.
