Smaller Imagemagick .exe to go with own program

Post by Poncho »

Hi,

I made a small program with Python and it uses ImageMagick to do the image editing. For this I first only used the convert.exe and some manifest files that are needed for the .exe, but now I will also use the composite.exe which makes it already 10MB (5MB each). I think this is way to big for my simple program: I only use append, colorspace and overlay one image of other. Is there a way to make those .exe's smaller?


Thanks :)

In compilation, you can choose which features (especially which file formats) to support.
