A command-line tool that analyzes the size of compiled Go binaries, breaking down size by packages, sections, and dependencies. It supports ELF, Mach-O, PE, and experimental WebAssembly formats with text, JSON, HTML, and SVG output plus interactive web and terminal UIs.

Use cases

• analyze why my go binary is so large
• break down go binary size by package
• visualize compiled binary size as a treemap
• compare binary sizes between two builds
• find which dependencies bloat my go executable
• generate report of binary section sizes
• explore binary size interactively in terminal

When to choose

• you need detailed size breakdowns of Go-compiled binaries across platforms
• you want interactive treemap exploration via web or TUI
• you need machine-readable output (JSON) for CI size tracking or diffing builds

When to avoid

• analyzing binaries not written in Go
• you need profiling of runtime performance rather than static size
• analyzing very large binaries in the browser WASM version, which is ~10x slower
