Convert APK to AAB
Convert post-build Android APK files into Android App Bundle (AAB) format with AppMate. Simplify Android release preparation without rebuilding the original project from source.
AppMate brings APK and AAB conversion together with signing, validation, optimization, and mobile app security in one streamlined platform.
What Is the Difference Between APK and AAB?
Converting your APK to an Android App Bundle (AAB) helps prepare your app for modern Google Play distribution while delivering a more efficient download experience.
With AAB, Google Play can generate optimized APKs for each user’s device, delivering only the code and resources that are needed. This can reduce download size, improve installation efficiency, and help minimize friction for users with slower connections or limited storage.
With the AppMate API, you can automate APK-to-AAB conversion and optimization as part of your CI/CD workflow—helping prepare every build for release with less manual work.
