About APKS
An APKS is a ZIP of split APKs: a base APK with the app's manifest and code, and splits for each screen density, language and processor. Google's bundletool makes them from an app bundle, and installer apps such as SAI save apps in them too.
Android installs the base with the splits a phone needs, all at once. Every split is signed with the same key as the base, or the install fails. bundletool's sets also list their splits and what each targets in toc.pb.
Filepeek reads the base APK as it reads any APK: its manifest as XML, every permission, the SDKs inside and each signature scheme. It lists the splits and what each is for, and works out the SHA-256 of the whole set.

Questions
How do I open an APKS on a computer?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an APKS. Its APKs are listed like a folder, with a page beside them on the app, its splits and what it asks for. Nothing installs.
Can I check an APKS's signature?
Yes. Filepeek checks the base APK's signature schemes against its files and shows the certificate it was signed with. Each split opens on its own, so its signature can be checked too.
How do I look up an APKS on VirusTotal?
Filepeek works out its SHA-256 inside your browser. Look up on VirusTotal opens VirusTotal's page for that hash, and only the hash goes, never the file. Compare checks it against a SHA-256, SHA-1 or MD5 you paste.
Does opening an APKS install it?
No. Filepeek only reads it: nothing in it runs, nothing is installed and it never leaves your device.
Can I get files out of an APKS?
Yes. Pick any file on the left to open it. Each APK inside opens as an app of its own. In Chrome and Edge on a computer, Export extracts them all into a folder.
