Practically every image I upload to my user’s storage increases in size by 10-250%. It’s most apparent with PNGs I optimized but also happens with any random jpg from the web.
I’m guessing that this is an attempt at optimizing that does not check if the optimized result is larger than the original?
Example 1:
- 39.7 KB https://media.piefed.social/posts/cN/dd/cNddFtXPxdUreK3.jpg
- 34.6 KB https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/67522_700b.jpg (this is the file I uploaded to piefed.social/user/files)
Example 2:
- 516.1 KB https://media.piefed.social/posts/zU/Me/zUMeYOfy3Es9ZWN.png
- 190.9 KB https://i.ibb.co/VYXP9D8j/scrsh-20261006-214735.png (this is the file I uploaded to piefed.social/user/files)
(This is NOT about differences in filesize calculation - KB vs KiB - I checked)
