PECompact has been a leader in the Windows executable compression industry for over a decade. You’ll find no other compressor that offers the features of PECompact. It has a plugin system that offers virtually limitless customization, setting it apart from all other competitors.

ZipForge is a fast and powerful VCL Zip component, written in Delphi. It lets you easily create ZIP archives, extract files from zip files to hard drive or memory, add files to a zip archive from disk or memory, replace, move and delete files in zip archives. Also it creates and reads self-extracting (SFX) zip archives, AES encrypted and multi-volume zip files.

If you are new to working with a full featured framework like Firemonkey you may be wondering at the size of the apps that Delphi 10.3 Rio Firemonkey generates. The Firemonkey Framework has hundreds of thousands of lines of code that allows you to jump ahead and start building the app you want to build now instead of the bricks in the road to get there. Hopefully this infographic will provide some insight into what makes up an APK/IPA cross platform application deployed from Delphi 10.3 with the FMX framework. The infographic covers Android, IOS, Windows, and Mac OSX apps/packages/libraries/archives created using the Firemonkey framework. Tools that utilize the Firemonkey framework are Delphi 10.3, C++Builder 10.3, and RAD Studio 10.3. The infographic only covers Release mode (something you could deploy to your customers). I have also included a VCL section in the infographic so that you can compare the Windows only VCL framework to the cross platform FMX framework. Also keep in mind that when you use debug information or are in Debug mode your file could be significantly larger. The sizes of the generated files are included in the green circles. There is the normal compiled size and then there is the compressed or packaged size. APK and IPA files are packaged and compressed. The compressed sizes for Windows and Mac OSX were achieved using the 7Zip format. Here is some information directly from the infographic as well about what units are included in a FMX app on Android (it is slightly different on each platform) and how those units effect the size of the deployable file.

Macrium Reflect - backup and recovery for individual PCs and servers. Reflect Workstation - Designed for endpoint backup of business-critical PCs and workstations. Peace of mind for organisations when backing up Windows PCs.

If compiled executable is unencrypted, it can be compressed for distribution, then it must be decompressed to run on target PC and the code can be decompiled easily. If compiled executable is encrypted, the compression is ineffective which brings problem of distribution. With Level III of ReFox XII the encryption and compression are combined into one step. No additional library files or support DLL’s are required to run the application, only the standard RT module is used and it is modified on the fly when loaded into memory. EXEs are compressed to 25% of original size and decompressed into memory only when run. The application is protected by modified encryption method to disable ReFox and other decompilers from decompiling the code.

ASPack is an advanced Win32 executable file compressor, capable to reduce a file size of 32-bit Windows programs by as much as 70%. (ASPack's compression ratio improves upon the industry-standard zip file format by as much as 10-20%.) ASPack makes programs and libraries smaller that decreases load times across networks; it also protects programs against reverse engineering. Programs compressed with ASPack are self-contained and run exactly as before, with no runtime performance penalties.
