# Reduce the Size of Your APK

World's #1 PDF SDK Library for Web, Mobile, Server, Desktop

## Configure APK splits

To reduce size of APK, you can build multiple APKs for specific ABI. For details about multiple APKs, see [Build Multiple APKs](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/configure-apk-splits.html). The following code snippet in module-level `build.gradle` file configures multiple APKs based on ABI.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Groovy" %}
{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```groovy
android {
  ...
  splits {

    // Configures multiple APKs based on ABI.
    abi {

      // Enables building multiple APKs per ABI.
      enable true

      // By default all ABIs are included, so use reset() and include to specify that we only
      // want APKs for x86, armeabi-v7a, and mips.

      // Resets the list of ABIs that Gradle should create APKs for to none.
      reset()

      // Specifies a list of ABIs that Gradle should create APKs for.
      include "x86", "armeabi-v7a"

      // Specifies that we do not want to also generate a universal APK that includes all ABIs.
      universalApk false
    }
  }

}
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Min version of the Apryse Android SDK

The min version of the SDK optimizes the Apryse libraries for size using the `-Os` optimization flag (as described in [Options That Control Optimization](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html)) reducing the AAR sizes.

You can download the Min version of the Apryse Android SDK from our [nightly builds](https://dev.apryse.com/nightly/stable).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/android/get-started/faq/reduce-apk-size.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
