2.7MB PNG FILE #Filesize #Bloat (from copy and paste process of images... #PNG files as pasted output are massive frequently).

#EXAMPLE OF BIG 2.7MB PNG FILE HERE:
https://mastodon.social/@RubyGold/114349143749701875

Same #picture but PNG as a pasted version = #BLOATED FILE

2mb more than original picture as drag/drop for example...

So copy and paste costs the Fediverse a whole lot more and actually takes time to download (ever wonder while it crawls some pictures?)!

TONS OF BANDWIDTH AND STORAGE / DOWNLOAD / CACHE just to see few hundred KB pic for what was 1 small JPG!

#CopyPaste is useful and PNG I understand cleans #EXIF data (doesn't store it) but surely a #JPG could do the same (there might be more reasons but I don't see them)...
