Downloaded a MOD APK but it’s in .apks
format and won’t install like a regular APK?
Don’t worry. You just need SAI (Split APKs Installer) — a free tool that lets you install .apks
, .apkm
, and split APK bundles easily.
In this guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to install any .apks
file safely using SAI on any Android device in 2025.
What Is a .apks
File?
A .apks
file is not a single APK — it’s a bundle of multiple APKs (called split APKs). These are used by Google Play and modern Android apps to save space and target specific devices.
You can’t install .apks
just by tapping them — you need a bundle installer, like SAI.
