Shrink Your Flutter App Size by 60%

Pro Techniques to Build Faster, Leaner APKs (2025)

Struggling with large Flutter APK sizes? I reduced my app from 59MB to 23.8MB using these techniques:

✅ Key Techniques

• --split-per-abi: create smaller APKs per device architecture
• Enable shrinkResources, minifyEnabled, and R8 in build.gradle
• Strip unused .so native libs with abiFilters
• Disable unused fonts, icons (like MaterialIcons)
• Clean up assets & compress images (.webp, TinyPNG, etc.)

📦 Result

Size before: 59MB

Size after: 23.8MB

These small changes made a big difference in download size and performance.
