Reducing the size of the deployed app
-
Windeployqt.exe does the good job. It means that it will copy required libraries. Alternatively you can try copying the required libraries on your own one-by-one and see if it helps.

Hey I'm using Qt Widgets on the desktop and I found that when running
windeployqt.exeit produces 50 MB of libraries, is there any way to shrink the size of it by discarding features you don't need?@Aron Take a look at http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/08/18/introducing-the-qt-lite-project-qt-for-any-platform-any-thing-any-size/
Personally I would not care about 50MB. -

On the plus side, without adding new Modules, the size will not change much if you expand your application, even if it is by a lot.
