OGV to APK Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Repack an APK as ZIP to inspect its manifest and assets (not for reinstalling). If your files are still in OGV format, this page is the shortcut: OGV is the open-source Ogg video container (Theora) from early HTML5 video days — rare today but still produced by some Linux tools.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the OGV format
OGV is video in the Ogg container, historically paired with the Xiph Foundation's Theora codec. Around 2004–2010 it was the royalty-free answer to patent-encumbered H.264, pushed by Firefox and Wikipedia. Theora's compression has since been left far behind by VP9, AV1 and even H.264, and OGV files in the wild are almost exclusively period pieces.
If you encounter one, it decodes in VLC and Firefox-derived stacks fine; converting to MP4 or WebM brings it into the modern era with a quality-neutral remux/re-encode.
+Strengths
- ✓Fully open-source lineage
- ✓Plays in Firefox-family and VLC
!Limitations
- −Theora compression is a generation behind
- −Near-zero modern ecosystem support
About the APK format
An APK is Android’s install package: a ZIP holding AndroidManifest.xml, compiled DEX bytecode, native libraries and assets. Unpacking one is the standard first step of security review, compatibility checks and asset recovery.
One honest limit: unpacking is inspection, not installation — a repacked ZIP cannot be installed back onto a phone, and the page says so.
+Strengths
- ✓Everything an Android app ships
- ✓ZIP-based, easy to unpack
- ✓Manifest readable as XML
!Limitations
- −DEX bytecode is not human source
- −Repack cannot reinstall

Frequently asked questions
Is this OGV to APK converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for OGV to APK?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Does converting OGV to APK re-encode my video?
Yes. The video is decoded and re-encoded with the settings chosen by the quality slider, which is what allows the format and size to change. For an archival copy, keep higher quality; for sharing, lower quality gives a much smaller file.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of APK, staying in sync with the video. If your OGV file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
