APK Editor Studio is a free, open-source, cross-platform GUI tool for reverse-engineering Android APK files, built in C++/Qt. It lets users extract and edit APK resources, change app icons and titles, manage permissions, sign, clone, optimize, and install APKs.

Use cases

  • change android app icon
  • edit apk resources
  • remove permissions from an apk
  • decompile and edit apk code
  • sign and install apk on device
  • clone an apk to run multiple instances
  • view apk signature certificates

When to choose

  • you want a GUI-based APK editor instead of command-line apktool
  • you need to tweak app icons, titles, images, or manifest properties quickly
  • you want an all-in-one tool for editing, signing, and installing APKs on Windows, macOS, or Linux

When to avoid

  • you need fully automated, scriptable APK build pipelines
  • you only need to decompile Java/Kotlin source code rather than edit resources
  • you require official support for Play Store re-signing workflows with strict compliance
