AppCompactor

AppCompactor is a lightweight utility designed for all software developers who want to compress the size of their applications by making them portable.

With the help of this tool, you can simply extract the program files to any location on the hard drive, and directly launch the executable file.

Since this application is portable, you don't need to install it on the target computer. You can save your software apps to a USB flash drive, external hard drive or other similar storage unit, in order to run them effortlessly on any computer.

More so, the Windows Registry section does not receive entry updates (minimizing the risk of system errors), and files do not remain on the hard drive after program removal.

The interface of AppCompactor consists of a wizard-like layout that can help you perform your tasks rapidly by guiding you step-by-step regarding the compression process.

After selecting the directory of the application you want to compress, with the help of the file browser ("drag and drop" is not supported), you can choose the UPX compression method (NRV2E, NRV2D, LZMA, Brute, Decompress), as well as compress all JAR and ZIP files.

When the task is done, you can start a compression job on another app, or view the initial and resulted size, together with the saved space.

The program is very light on the system resources, and compresses an app rapidly, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. It doesn't require you to install it on the target computer, since it is portable and comes with a simplistic user interface. Thanks to its intuitive layout and overall accessibility, AppCompactor can be seamlessly figured out.
