The Little Guy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Am I missing something here? I have an image that is 217,258 bytes I use ImageMagick to resize the image according to the width of users screen width, and it adjusts the height automatically. Anyway... I have an image that has these properties: File Size: 217,258 bytes File Width: 1440px When I resize the image (make it smaller) the file size goes up... File Size: 782,799 bytes File Width: 1280px Save Quality: 100 Why is the file size going up when the file width goes down. Shouldn't the file size go down too?

Philip Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Dumb question, but still possible: are you saving it as the same file type? (e.g. not going from jpg -> png) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208366-resize-image-file-size-goes-up/#findComment-1089097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
