About:
APK Icon Editor is a desktop application that provides a graphical interface for modifying the resources and manifest data of Android APK files. It allows users to easily change an app's icon, display name, version information, and other assets without requiring deep technical knowledge of the APK format or build tools.
Key Features:
  • Graphical interface for editing APK resources
  • Modify app icons, names, and version metadata
  • Support for replacing images and other assets
  • No need for command-line decompilation/recompilation
Use Cases:
  • Rebranding an existing Android app for personal or internal use
  • Creating multiple app variants with different icons or names from a single APK
  • Quickly updating version information or correcting metadata
Alternatives:
  • APKTool – Command-line tool for decompiling/rebuilding APKs; more powerful but less user-friendly for simple edits.
  • Android Studio – Full IDE for building Android apps; can modify resources in source projects but not directly in compiled APKs.
