APK Downloader: download APKs from Google Play and APKPure

Paste the app link or only the package name. Play Store opens the official page. APKPure is the file download.

How the APK downloader works

  1. Copy the Play Store link

    Open the app on Google Play in your browser or phone, tap Share and copy the link. It looks like play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.

  2. Paste it above

    Paste the full link or only the package name, such as com.whatsapp. The page reads the app id and ignores the rest of the address.

  3. Choose Google Play or APKPure

    Google Play opens the official listing to install or check details. APKPure downloads the latest public APK file.

Google Play or APKPure: which one to use

Google Play Store

The official Android store. Use it when your phone has Google Play: installs and updates happen automatically, and the app comes signed by the developer.

APKPure

A third-party APK mirror. Use it when your device has no Google Play, the app is not available in your country, or you need the APK file to install on another device.

How to find the package name of an Android app

Every Android app has a unique package name, also called the application ID. On Google Play it is the value after id= in the address. In play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.messenger, the package name is org.telegram.messenger.

On your phone you can also find it in Settings, then Apps, then the app, under App details. Paste that name above to get the same result as the full link.

How to install the APK on Android

  1. Download the APK file with the APKPure button.
  2. Open it from the notification or from your Downloads folder.
  3. If Android asks, allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps.
  4. Tap Install and wait a few seconds.

Can I download an APK directly from Google Play?

Google Play does not offer a public APK download link. It installs apps straight to your device. That is why this page opens the official Google Play listing and uses APKPure for the APK file.

Is the APKPure file the same as the Play Store version?

APKPure publishes the APK that developers release on Google Play, usually shortly after each update. Right after a new release the versions can differ for a while, so check the version number before installing.

Is it safe to install APKs from APKPure?

APKPure says it checks each file signature against the original developer signature. Still, only install apps you trust and review the permissions the app asks for.

Why does the download come as an XAPK file?

Large apps and games split their files into several parts. APKPure packs them as XAPK, which you install with the APKPure app or a split APK installer such as SAI.

Can I download paid apps this way?

No. This page works with free apps. Paid apps must be bought and installed through Google Play.

Do I need an account?

No. You do not need a Google account or an apkrepacks account to use this page.
