There are two methods by which you can install apps in your Android phone. Either you can directly install them from Google Play Store (undoubtedly, the best app store) which needs network connection or you can install them from apk file. Apk is the file format of Android apps, as like jpeg and png is the file formats of images.
After installing the app, sometimes you may want to extract its apk file. Unfortunately, Android does not offer any official tool to help you extract apk file from installed apps but you can use number of third-party applications like ES File Explorer and APK Extracter. Again you need to download them from Google Play Store. What if I say that you can extract apk files offline without downloading anything. Yes, you can do this with SHAREit.
