We all know that different devices use different file extensions for software, programs, games, etc. Android uses something called and .apk extension and today we will tell you a bit more about that.
File with an extension .apk is a file that belongs to android and it is short for Android Package Kit. Now, this is a file extension like any other and it contains files that can be used or installed on a particular platform, in this case, Android only. This, on the other hand, does not stop it to be transferred to other platforms and installed or converted to other file systems that can be visible to that platform.
The conversion of this file system is done by applications called converter tools. If you need to Convert EXE to APK, feel free to look up how. Until then we will tell you what your possibilities are when it comes to working with .apk files.
1. Convert .apk to .exe
If you have a need, for whatever reason, to get some of your favourite apps from your android to your pc then thanks to these conversion tools you easily can. Conversions of almost every type are possible but you have to take care of the converter tool choice. Most of them do the right job without issues while others tend to mess up your files and give out all kinds of errors and incompatibility issues. The conversion process is simple, choose the windows executable file you wish to convert, add it into the converter, set the destination folder and wait for the magic to happen. After it’s done, transfer it to your android device and let it install.
2. Convert .exe to .apk
Although the need for all kinds of different applications and an overall fight to be the best has made manufacturers think about all three platforms when it comes to apps. There are still some of those that we like but are not available for our platform. The converter tool that allows you to convert .exe files into .apk will allow you to get your favourite windows app and install it on the android device, although there are a few of those that aren’t already been made for android. Again, be careful with the choice of tool to avoid all those pesky errors, lost file fragments or incompatibility issues.
3. Emulators
Another thing that we have to mention to all of you is tht, if you aren’t having luck with the converter tools and if your .apk and .exe files, or others, aren’t being used there is still hope. Thanks to tech advances and enthusiasts some programs are usable on both platforms called emulators. Emulators will allow you to mimic one platform on another and with that access all its features that were unavailable so far. There are a few windows emulators for android that stand out like Wine, Limbo and Exagear, while android emulators for Windows are BlueStack emulator, Nox emulator Android Studio emulator. These are awesome and they will give you something new for both platforms.
