TAK to APK Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
TAK is a German high-ratio lossless codec — close to Monkey's Audio ratios with much faster decoding. Repack an APK as ZIP to inspect its manifest and assets (not for reinstalling).
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

About the TAK format
TAK (Tom's lossless Audio Kompressor) chases the best ratio-per-decode-speed point: it compresses close to Monkey's Audio while decoding several times faster, and its integer-only decoder is unusually robust against bit errors — an audiophile favorite in the 2000s Windows world.
The official encoder is Windows-only, which froze the ecosystem; ffmpeg reads TAK files losslessly, so converting to FLAC unlocks them for every other platform and player.
+Strengths
- ✓Near-APE ratios, much faster decode
- ✓Very robust against bit errors
- ✓Pipes with cuesheets for albums
!Limitations
- −Windows-only official encoder
- −Development is slow/inactive
- −Few converters besides ffmpeg
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

There is a concrete reason this conversion exists: Windows-only official encoder APK sidesteps that — Everything an Android app ships If that is your situation, the tool above settles it in seconds, entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this TAK 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 TAK 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.
Will converting TAK to APK reduce audio quality?
If APK is lossless, the output contains everything the TAK file contains — no further loss is added. If APK is lossy, one recompression pass is unavoidable; the quality slider controls how much. Loss that already happened in the source file can never be undone by converting.
Are tags like title and artist preserved?
Tag handling varies between target formats and this conversion focuses on the audio itself. For archival copies where tags matter, keep the original file; the converted copy is for playback and sharing.
