    Your free, open-source shrinker for Java/Kotlin apps

    ProGuard is a command-line tool that reduces app size by shrinking bytecode and obfuscates the names of classes, fields and methods. It’s an ideal fit for developers working with Java or Kotlin who are primarily interested in an Android optimizer.

    ProGuard vs. DexGuard

    Although ProGuard is a great start to mobile app security, its primary purpose is to shrink Java/Kotlin apps; not to serve as a security solution. DexGuard is our comprehensive Android mobile app security solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing ProGuard (or R8) configuration.
