+### Can Skia-wrapped image codecs be removed in favor of using system supplied image codecs?
+
+The team investigated removing codecs from Skia in favor of relying on the
+system supplied decoders for supported image formats. This would have the
+benefit of reducing the binary size of the engine.
+
+Our investigations found that using the system decoders had more complications
+than initially expected. It would take a significant amount of work to achieve
+parity with the Skia codecs in terms of performance and reliability.
+
+The results of our investigation are documented in

+in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/177863 for removing codecs on
+Android.
