What is an AAB file?

The .AAB file is an Android App Bundle. Developers use this format to upload Android applications to Google Play. Google created the .AAB format to replace the traditional .APK format for app publishing.

File structure

Under the surface, an .AAB file is a compressed ZIP archive. It stores compiled code, resources, and native libraries for an app. The Google Play store uses this single package to build and serve optimized versions of the app for different devices.

How to open AAB files?

You can open and build .AAB files using Android Studio. Developers also use the bundletool command-line utility to inspect the bundle or convert it into installable .APK files. Because an .AAB file is a standard archive, you can unpack its contents using file extraction software like 7-Zip or PeaZip.

Inspecting AAB files online

If you do not have developer tools installed, viewer.online/aab analyzes .AAB files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.

Summary

Because .AAB files use the known ZIP format, viewer.online/aab can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
