Welcome to the SizeBench repo
This repository contains the SizeBench tool for doing size analysis of PE files (Portable Executables such as DLL, EXE, and SYS files) typically used on Windows. It's intended to help with questions like:
- Why is this binary so big?
- What can be done to make it smaller?
If you're a user of the tool
You can get help by opening SizeBench and going to Help > Show Help. Or, in this repo the usage docs are in the EndUserDocs folder.
For an introduction to this tool, see the announcement blog post

- Move to GitHub Actions for CI and PR pipelines.
- Create and publish NuGet package for the Analysis Engine.
- Support diffing of SourceFiles.
- Improved support for binaries containing Rust code.
