I am using PyInstaller to create an executable file for my project. The project uses opencv and pywin32. The file size is 54MB, and after installing easyocr, the size is about 323MB.
I run pyinstaller --onefile .\main.py --paths C:\Users\undefined\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages --key myKey -n fileName to create an executable file.
Is there way to reduce the file size? Is this expected? Is there something I can do?
