About APK Scanner Online
Inspect the contents of an APK — files, manifest, permissions, and signing — in a single upload.
APK Scanner Online is part of APKLint’s apk & aab analysis toolkit — Unpack, inspect, and break down Android packages. It’s free to use and needs no account.
Your privacy is the default: files you upload are processed on our servers over an encrypted connection and permanently deleted by a scheduled hourly cleanup after analysis finishes, and never shared.
What APK Scanner Online checks
- Manifest red flags (debuggable, cleartext, exported components)
- Dangerous runtime permissions requested
- A compact, issues-first risk snapshot
- Package and version identity
Good to know: A lightweight snapshot — for a deeper malware/secret scan use the Security Scanner or Malware Scanner.
When to use APK Scanner Online
- Best for
- Seeing what is actually inside an APK as an archive: the file tree, the manifest, permissions, and signing, when you want to browse contents rather than read a scored report.
- Not the right tool for
- Not a malware scanner despite the name, and not a code decompiler. For malware use the Malware Scanner; for source use the APK Decompiler.
- What you get back
- A contents-first view: entries in the package, the decoded manifest, permission declarations, and the signing block.
- How it differs from related APKLint tools
- APK Scanner leans on 'show me the contents', while APK Analyzer leans on 'measure and summarize' and Android App Scanner leans on security flags.
- Limitations
- Listing contents is not the same as judging them; pair it with the Security Scanner if risk is your question.
