How to Install an OBB File with ZArchiver

Installing games and apps that require both an APK file for Android installation and an OBB file containing additional game data can be a bit tricky if you’re not familiar with the process. But don’t worry we’ve got you covered with a simple, step by step guide on how to install an OBB file with ZArchiver.

Step 1: Download Your APK and OBB Files

Before you start, make sure you have both the APK file and the OBB file. The APK is the file that installs the app, while the OBB file contains the additional data needed by the game or app.

  • APK File: This is the actual installer for the app or game.
  • OBB File: This contains the large game data (like textures or media files) that’s necessary for the game to run smoothly.

You can usually find both files on trusted third-party websites or game portals.

Step 2: Install ZArchiver

If you haven’t installed ZArchiver yet, go to the zarchiverr.pro and click on download button then locate the zarchiver file and click on install. Once installed, open the app, and you’re ready to go.

Step 3: Extract the OBB File Using ZArchiver

  1. Open ZArchiver on your device.
  2. Navigate to the location where your OBB file is stored usually the Downloads folder.
  3. Tap on the OBB file
  4. Select the Extract option. Choose the destination folder where you want to extract the OBB file, and ZArchiver will unzip it.

Once extracted, you’ll see a folder named after the app or game, containing the data necessary for the app to work properly.

Step 4: Move the OBB File to the Correct Folder

Now, the extracted folder must be moved to the correct location on your device’s storage:
