⚠️ Read this first: OKX has one download entry — the download page on okx.com. Pages advertising "high-speed download", "green version" or "no-KYC build" are not official, no matter where they rank. Verify the domain before installing, then verify the package name and signing certificate after.
Key takeaways:
- OKX downloads start at okx.com/download, with the Chinese page at okx.com/zh-hans/download; desktop, Android and iOS all branch from there.
- OKX does not publish installer sizes, version numbers, SHA-256 hashes or minimum OS versions. Version 6.181.0 appears at both 288 MB and 419 MB on third-party mirrors, so size or hash is a poor authenticity test.
- Desktop support is officially Windows and macOS only; Linux is not listed. The desktop client has a built-in update check but no public version list to match.
- Android has two common package names: Google Play uses
com.okinc.okex.gp, the website APK may usecom.okex.android, and OKX Wallet iscom.okx.wallet. They are not the same app.- Split the work across platforms: desktop for charts, orders and API; mobile for KYC, QR login, alerts and Web3 wallet; web as a backup.
- Four signs of a tampered package: wrong package name, mismatched signature, requests for a seed phrase, or an unexpected deposit address. If any appears, uninstall, change your password and move funds.

The official OKX download entry: desktop and mobile start here
OKX has exactly one official download entry: the download page on okx.com, from which the desktop, Android and iOS routes branch. When checked in November 2026, the Chinese page was okx.com/zh-hans/download, and it surfaced the installer for the device it detected. The Android route first opens an "Android download guide", where a copy button provides the APK link.
Three names cause most of the confusion:
| What you search | What it actually means | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| OKX | The global brand | Website, app and desktop all use it |
| 欧易 (Ouyi) | The Chinese name for OKX | Same app and account system |
| 欧意 (Ouyi, misspelling) | A common typo | No separate "Ouyi edition" client |
| OKX Wallet | A standalone Web3 wallet | Package com.okx.wallet, not the exchange app |
There is one official entry, but many domains that look official. The test is not how closely a page imitates OKX; it is which domain the address bar ends on. The main site must be okx.com, and the download page must be okx.com/download or the same path with a language prefix. Treat okex.com.de, okx-vip.com, okx-download.com and similar domains as third parties.
OKX desktop download: installing on Windows and macOS
OKX officially supports Windows and macOS desktop clients, reached from the download icon at the top right → More clients → Desktop. The install is short, but every step has something to verify.
Windows
- Open
okx.com/download, choose Windows and confirm the file ends in.exe. - Before running it, check the file properties and confirm it came from an okx.com download link.
- If "Windows protected your PC" appears, click "More info" → "Run anyway". Do this only after confirming the source, and never disable antivirus to install an app.
- After installation, log in by scanning a QR code with the mobile OKX app rather than typing your password and codes on a new computer.
macOS
- Choose the build for your chip: Apple Silicon (M series) uses arm64, Intel uses x64. If unsure, open "About This Mac".
- Open the
.dmgand drag OKX into Applications. - If macOS says the developer cannot be verified, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway", or right-click the app and choose Open.
- Prefer QR login. If you must type a password, first confirm the address bar and app name have not been replaced.
System requirements: not published by OKX
OKX's official help pages do not list minimum desktop OS versions, installer sizes or a complete file-format list. These third-party figures are rough ranges, not official promises:
| Item | Common third-party claim | Published by OKX? | How to judge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows version | Windows 10/11 64-bit | No | Check your OS build if installation fails |
| macOS version | macOS 11 Big Sur or later | No | Check the page prompt |
| Architecture | Separate Intel x64 and Apple Silicon arm64 | No | Check "About This Mac" |
| Installer size | About 50–180 MB, inconsistent | No | Use what the download page shows |
| Installed footprint | About 200 MB–1 GB | No | Check after installation |
| Linux | Third parties claim .deb / .AppImage | Not listed officially | Do not use for a primary account |
The Linux row deserves its own warning: OKX's help center lists Mac OS and Windows, not Linux. Third-party Linux packages are unconfirmed, and the risk/reward of logging into a primary account with one is poor.
OKX app download: Android APK, iOS and HarmonyOS entries
The Android build comes only from the Android guide on the official download page or from Google Play; iOS comes only from the App Store. The two channels use different package names and update paths. The point is not whether you can download something, but whether it is the same app.
Android: two official routes, two possible package names
| Route | Entry | Package | Update method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Play | Search OKX in Play | com.okinc.okex.gp |
Store auto-update |
| Website APK | Copy link in the Android download guide | Possibly com.okex.android |
Manual replacement |
| OKX Wallet | Standalone wallet app | com.okx.wallet |
Independent updates |
These are three different install targets. If you installed com.okx.wallet, that is not the exchange app, and you will not see spot or futures accounts after logging in. Third-party mirrors often place OKX and OKX Wallet on the same page; read the package name before downloading.
Third-party pages commonly list Android 7.0 (API 24) and above, target API 35, with arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a support. OKX does not publish a minimum version, so rely on the system prompt at install time.
iOS: not in the mainland China App Store
The mainland China App Store does not list OKX; you need an Apple ID from a supported region. If you do not want to switch Apple IDs, the web version can handle login, KYC and orders, but face verification, push alerts and the Web3 wallet are still better on mobile.
HarmonyOS: no native client
HarmonyOS NEXT has no native OKX client. The workable path is an Android compatibility layer such as Zhuoyitong, with compatibility and brand-specific install switches depending on the device. Do not trust third-party "native HarmonyOS OKX" packages — the official download page has no such entry.
Installer size, version and SHA-256: why OKX does not publish them
Installers change with version, ABI split and distribution channel, so any static size or hash table expires quickly; OKX chooses not to publish them, while third-party pages turn "we lay it all out" into a selling point. This is not laziness — those numbers simply cannot serve as an authenticity standard.
Here is a real snapshot from third-party mirrors in November 2026:
| Version | Source | Listed size | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.192.0 | APKPure | 541.3 MB | Published October 12, 2026 |
| 6.183.0 | APKMirror | 294.01 MB | arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a split variant |
| 6.181.0 | captain-droid | 419 MB | Same version |
| 6.181.0 | APKMirror | 288.31 MB | Same version, different packaging |
The same 6.181.0 differs by 130 MB. That is not fraud; it is the difference between a full package, split APKs and bundled language resources. So "the installer must be 419 MB" is simply the wrong test.
SHA-256 works the same way: it is calculated per file, changes with every repackaging, and differs by mirror for the same version. A static hash table is useless for verification. The signing certificate fingerprint (SHA-1) is more stable and can serve as a cross-check:
- SHA-1 fingerprint listed on APKPure:
46170c99dc9290bad5f3cdf6c130d8425d936d77 - This value comes from a third-party mirror, not from OKX. Use it as a cross-check, not as the only criterion.
A more reliable order is: domain → package name → signing certificate → in-app version. The first three happen before installation; the last confirms after.
Desktop, mobile and web: which platform does what
Desktop, mobile and web are not three builds of the same thing; they take on different jobs. Choosing wrong does not make them unusable, but it will block key steps.
| Capability | OKX desktop | OKX mobile app | Web |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charts and multi-window layout | ✅ Strong | Basic | Full, limited by browser performance |
| Spot/futures order entry | ✅ Hotkeys | ✅ | ✅ |
| KYC and face verification | ❌ Usually needs mobile | ✅ | Some flows need mobile |
| QR login | ✅ Displays code | ✅ Scans | ✅ Scans |
| C2C / P2P | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| API key management | ✅ Convenient | Limited | ✅ |
| Web3 wallet | ❌ | ✅ | Needs an extension or web wallet |
| Price alerts | System notifications | ✅ Push | ❌ |
| Multi-account / sub-accounts | ✅ | Partial | ✅ |
In one line: desktop for trading, mobile for verification, QR login and wallet, web as the backup. A desktop-only setup usually cannot complete KYC and face verification; a mobile-only setup is inefficient for long charting sessions and multi-window order entry.
Incremental updates and resume downloads: app feature or browser behavior?
"Incremental updates" and "resume downloads" sound like one client feature, but the first depends on the client and the second on the download server and browser. Separating them stops you from blaming the app for a network problem.
Incremental updates: three different rules
| Platform | Update method | Manual? | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| iOS | App Store auto-update | No | Manual if auto-update is off |
| Google Play Android | Store auto-update | No | Manual if auto-update is off |
| Sideloaded website APK | Download and replace manually | Yes | Signatures must match or install fails |
| Windows / macOS | Built-in update check | Usually automatic | Manual "check for updates" in the avatar menu |
A sideloaded APK does not auto-update, which is why many users stay on an old build. Old builds miss features and security fixes; check at least once a month.
Resume downloads: not an app feature
Resume depends on three things: the server supporting HTTP Range, the browser or download manager sending a resume request, and the file URL not expiring. OKX does not document whether its servers support Range; third-party mirrors often disable it to save bandwidth, so a paused download restarts from zero.
The test is simple: pause halfway, wait 30 seconds, then resume. If progress continues, Range is supported; if it resets, download in one pass and avoid pausing on a weak connection.
Install failures and tampered packages: nine cases and fixes
Install failures fall into three groups: system gates, bad packages and conflicts with an old build. Each needs a different order of operations; doing the wrong one first can cost you your 2FA.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix order |
|---|---|---|
| Windows SmartScreen blocks it | Default gate for unknown publishers | Confirm okx.com source, then More info → Run anyway |
| macOS "unverified developer" | Gatekeeper | System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway |
| Android "unknown sources" | Browser/file manager lacks install permission | Grant it to the current file manager only, revoke after |
| "App not installed" | Signature conflict or insufficient storage | Back up Google Authenticator, uninstall old build, free space, reinstall |
| "Parse error" | Incomplete download, ABI mismatch, old OS | Redownload fully; check arm64/armeabi; update OS |
| App opens then crashes | Compatibility layer or OS mismatch | Use the official build, not a "lite" repackage |
| Two OKX icons | Play and website APK use different package names | Identify the exchange app and uninstall the other |
| Update says signature mismatch | Sideloaded and store builds mixed | Uninstall and install from one channel |
| Download dies halfway | Mirror does not support resume | Use the official entry and download in one pass |
Back up Google Authenticator before uninstalling. Your assets are in the account, not on the phone, but if the 2FA seed is not backed up you may lose access after uninstalling. Confirm the backup or a backup verification method first, then remove the old build.
Four signs of a tampered package
- Wrong package name: none of
com.okinc.okex.gp,com.okex.androidorcom.okx.wallet. - Signature mismatch: the certificate seen by a verification tool differs from the official build.
- Requests for a seed phrase, password, verification code or remote control: the official app never asks for these during install or login.
- Unexpected deposit address: test with a small amount; if the address differs from the official app, stop.
If any appear, follow this order: uninstall → change password → revoke API keys → move assets → contact official support → report the domain. Do not start by asking whether it can be "fixed".
A six-point checklist before downloading OKX
Three minutes on these six checks beats discovering the problem after installation.
- Domain: the address bar must be
okx.com; the download page isokx.com/downloadorokx.com/zh-hans/download. - Path: desktop via More clients → Desktop; Android via the Android download guide; iOS via the App Store.
- Package name: the Android exchange app is
com.okinc.okex.gpor the official APK package; the wallet iscom.okx.wallet. - Signing certificate: verify with a third-party tool; the SHA-1
46170c99dc9290bad5f3cdf6c130d8425d936d77is a cross-reference, and if it does not match, redownload from the official source rather than trusting the file. - Version: after installing, use the in-app update check; if it recognizes the version, proceed to login.
- Small test: fund $20–$50 first, complete one buy and one withdrawal, and confirm the address and network.
The point is not to memorize six numbers. It is to keep the judgment in your own hands: domain, package name, signature and version can all be checked yourself, so no "high-speed download" page needs to be trusted.
💰 OKX registration entry and affiliate disclosure
Downloading determines whether you have the genuine app; the registration entry determines the account relationship and where the rebate goes. This article contains an OKX affiliate link; we may earn a commission if you register through it, at no extra cost to you.
- Registration entry: use the link below, confirm the invite/referral field is not empty, then complete email or phone verification.
- Secure the account first: enable 2FA or a passkey, set a withdrawal whitelist, then deposit.
- Do not believe "no-KYC" or "verified account for sale": these are not shortcuts; they hand control of your account to someone else.

FAQ
What is the official OKX download page?
Only okx.com. The desktop, Android and iOS entries are all on okx.com/download, with the Chinese page at okx.com/zh-hans/download. Any domain that contains okx but is not okx.com, such as okex.com.de or okx-vip.com, is not an official download source.
Does OKX have a desktop app for Windows and Mac? What about Linux?
OKX's help center lists Mac OS and Windows desktop clients and does not list Linux. The .deb and .AppImage builds mentioned in third-party tutorials are not confirmed by OKX and are not recommended for a primary account. OKX also does not publish minimum OS versions or installer sizes for desktop.
Where do I download the OKX Android APK, and what is the package name?
Only from the Android guide on okx.com/download or from Google Play. The Google Play build uses com.okinc.okex.gp, while the website APK may use com.okex.android; OKX Wallet is a separate app with the package com.okx.wallet. If the package name is different, it is not the app you intended to install.
Why doesn't OKX publish installer size and SHA-256?
Installers change with version, ABI splits and distribution channel, so static figures expire quickly. Version 6.181.0 is listed at both 288 MB and 419 MB on third-party mirrors because the packaging differs. OKX expects users to verify the domain, package name, signing certificate and in-app version rather than trust a hash table that will go stale.
How can I tell whether an OKX installer was modified?
Check four things: the domain must be okx.com; the Android package should be com.okinc.okex.gp or the package used by the official APK; the signing certificate must match the official build, with the SHA-1 fingerprint listed by third-party mirrors as a cross-check; and the app's built-in update check should recognize the version. If any check fails, delete the file and download again.
What is the difference between the OKX desktop app and the mobile app? Do I need both?
The desktop app is for charts, order entry, API management and multi-window trading. The mobile app handles KYC face verification, QR login, price alerts and the Web3 wallet. A desktop-only setup usually cannot complete face verification, while a mobile-only setup is poor for charting. The practical combination is desktop for trading, mobile for verification and wallet, and web as a backup.
What should I do about a signature conflict, "app not installed" or SmartScreen?
Identify the source first. SmartScreen and the macOS "unverified developer" warning are system gates that can be bypassed after confirming the file came from okx.com. A signature conflict usually means a Google Play build and a website APK are installed together; their signatures differ, so uninstall the old one first. Back up Google Authenticator before uninstalling or you may lose 2FA access.
Does the OKX app update automatically, and does resume download work?
iOS updates through the App Store and the Google Play build updates through the store. A sideloaded website APK does not auto-update and must be manually replaced. Resume download is not an app feature; it depends on HTTP Range support on the download server and on the browser. Mirror sites often do not support it, so a paused download may restart from zero.
