Tips on reducing WASM file size with Emscripten

Optimize for size over performance

If size is more important than performance, you can use -Os flag.

I tried with camaro and the file size reduce from 176KB down to 130KB. It’s worth a try.

Try adding these flags: -s ASSERTIONS=0 and -DNDEBUG to emcc.

Try using emmalloc which is a smaller malloc version available in emcc by adding -s 'MALLOC="emmalloc"' flag

Using --closure 1 flag may also help as well.

Try not to import unnecessary libs in C++. Eg: don’t forget to remove iostream if you only use it for debugging with std::cout

Emscripten has a whole section about this, do read this to stay up to date.
