Checks: your file or link is run through VirusTotal's multi-engine scan. The report gives the verdict, detection counts, engine coverage, and the file's type, size and SHA-256.
Does not check: it does not run the app or analyze its code, and does not review permissions, the signing certificate, privacy or Google Play policy compliance. A clean multi-engine result is not a guarantee of safety.
Next tier: Basic adds engine-by-engine detail, an action plan, and (for APK files) package details and declared permissions. Premium adds signing-certificate details, prioritized file-metadata findings and release guidance.
To start: choose a file or paste a link above, enter your email, and press the scan button.

Watch a quick walkthrough to learn how APK Scanner Pro checks Android apps against VirusTotal's multi-engine scan and, in the paid reports, reads declared permissions and file-metadata findings from APK files.
An APK malware scanner is a tool that checks Android application files (.apk) for hidden threats before installation. Many apps downloaded outside the Google Play Store may contain spyware, trojans, or malicious code that can steal data or harm your device.
APK Scanner Pro analyzes APK files using trusted antivirus engines and AI-based detection to identify suspicious behavior, unsafe permissions, and known malware signatures. This helps users and developers make safer decisions before installing or publishing apps.
Android allows installation from third-party sources, which increases flexibility but also risk. Without scanning, users may unknowingly install infected apps that compromise personal data, banking details, or device security.
Using an online APK scanner adds an extra layer of protection by verifying app safety before installation.
