A portable application, or portable app for short, is a computer software program that does not need to be installed or copied onto a computer’s mass storage device to be executed, running instead from a removable storage device such as a CD-ROM drive, USB flash drive, flash card, or floppy disk.

If you want to compress the Size of Your Portable app than you have to try AppCompactor. AppCompactor allows you to easily compress application to decrease size on disk and increase performance when running from a slow media (like flash drives).

When you run AppCompactor, it will ask you to point it at a program directory. From there, you can choose the type of compression you want to run. NRV2E is the default setting, with other choices including NRV2D, LZMA, BRUTE, and a decompress option. You can also opt out of compressing JAR and ZIP files, although the default is to compress them down. As the app runs, it opens a DOS window that shows you the progress of the compression cycle. This should help observant users with fast eyes to keep track of any errors that occur.

By using Default options, AppCompactor reduces CCleaner portable folder to about 760 (about 40% its original size) and ArtWeaver to trifling 3.1MB-a 10MB reduction. Apps are quick and fast as well.
