What is a .APKG file?
APKG is an Anki flashcard deck. Opened by the Anki study app.
- Did you know
- Anki is a popular spaced-repetition flashcard app, and an APKG bundles a shareable deck.
- The name Anki comes from the Japanese word for memorisation, and the app was created by Damien Elmes around 2006.
- Inside an APKG sits a SQLite database holding the cards plus the scheduling data its spaced-repetition algorithm needs.
- What Analyser reads
- Read software packages and Unix archive streams: Python wheels, NuGet, Chrome/Firefox/VS Code extensions, Electron ASAR, Windows APPX/MSIX, Debian (DEB), RPM, RubyGems, conda, Anki, Microsoft CAB, cpio and ar - showing name, version, dependencies and the file tree.
- Depth of analysis
- .APKG is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .APKG file
- Drag a .APKG file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
