How to install an APK from your PC to Android directly

Good people! As we well know there are different ways to install a file APK, which is nothing other than the format of the installer files on Android, for example if you already have your APK on your device, you simply install it through the file manager, instead if you have it on your PC, you must first transfer it to your mobile using the USB cable, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Now, what if you want to directly install the APK file from your computer to your Android smartphone or tablet? Is that possible? Well yes sir and it is within the reach of a couple of clicks as I will teach you next in this post.

Install apps from Windows to Android

To achieve our goal, we will use a good utility called Pure APK Install, which is free and, although it is only available in English, its use is extremely intuitive.

1. Connect your device to the computer through the USB cable, making sure you have previously enabled the «USB debugging«, which is found in the settings of the Developer Options of your device.

2. Run the program Pure APK Install and click the blue button to load your APK file.

3. Browse your device until you find your APK file to load.

4. Instantly the details of the application will be displayed and you will be able to choose if you want to install it in the internal memory or in the external SD Card of your device.

5. Click Install and the installation process will start if you have successfully connected your device, it is important that you look at the screen as you probably need to confirm.

Conclusions

This tool will be useful if you prefer to download the applications directly from Google Play and install them offline, because if they are heavy applications or games the process will of course be much faster. And by the way, this is how you get a backup of the application installers 😉
Finally I leave you a list of sites to download an APK directly from Google Play:
  • Pure APK
  • Transfer APK
  • Add a download button on Google Play
  • APK Downloader
  • apk-dl
That would be all! I would appreciate a +1, tweet, like, share, comment or whatever you prefer in this article, that the feedback motivates us bloggers to keep writing 😀

    Hello Alan! Two are my favorites: BlueStacks and Andy. Of them personally, the one who has given me the best performance and usability in Windows 7 has been Andy. But it's a matter of taste, you could try both if you like or follow my favorite directly 🙂

    Another hug.

    And it is not easier to transfer the apk to your cell via bluetooth / ftp, activate the unknown origins function, download the apk and install it? You wouldn't need the cable at all (or in case you don't have it).

      This is Manuel, the one you mention is also a good alternative. It all depends on the situation and the most convenient comfort for that moment 🙂

    Hello, Marcelo,
    I have used the Pure Install application and it copies the APK file perfectly and fast. The problem is that I can't find it later on my cell phone, so I can't finally use the application.
    How can I find the file and make it ready as an application?
    Greetings, Claudio.

    Marcelo,

    Use the application, but I don't see where it is on the cell phone, so I can't use it.

    What should I do?
