LHA at a glance
LHA
Convert to LHA when dealing with preserved Japanese software collections, old BBS-era archives, or retro-computing media that explicitly uses it.
In most workflows it functions as a compatibility or migration target while content is normalized into more modern archives for ongoing use.
Choose it only when downstream compatibility with historical tooling matters.
APK at a glance
APK
Convert to APK when the output is intended to be installed on Android or inspected by Android-specific tooling.
It is the right target for mobile app build artifacts, sideloadable test builds, MDM deployment packages, and Android application distribution outside or alongside the Play Store.
Use it only when the payload is truly an Android app package; for ordinary compressed bundles, ZIP or 7Z are more appropriate.
