RPM to APK Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
RPM Package and Android Package exist for different jobs: RPM is the Red Hat-family package format: a lead/header structure wrapped around a compressed cpio payload. Repack an APK as ZIP to inspect its manifest and assets (not for reinstalling).
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 RPM format
RPM (RPM Package Manager — a recursive name if there ever was one) is the Red Hat family's package format: a 96-byte lead, signature and header sections, then a compressed cpio stream carrying every file. CentOS, Fedora, SUSE and OpenMandriva all live on it.
Extraction is the cross-platform escape hatch: 7-Zip unwraps the cpio payload in the browser, so scripts, binaries and config trees can be reviewed or repackaged without any Linux installation.
+ Strengths
- ✓Enterprise-grade metadata (deps, scripts, changelog)
- ✓Dominant across the Red Hat ecosystem
- ✓cpio payload extracts cleanly
! Limitations
- −Header format versions vary (v3/v4)
- −Payload compression differs by build (gzip/xz/zstd)
- −Scripts inside cannot be sandbox-verified
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 RPM 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 RPM 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.
Is there a size limit for archive conversion?
There is no upload cap because nothing is uploaded — the practical limit is your device memory. A few hundred megabytes of unpacked content works comfortably on a modern computer.
Are the files inside my RPM archive modified?
No. Contents are unpacked in memory and repacked into APK byte-for-byte — the conversion changes the container, never the files inside it.
