File increases in size when uploading to LTT

[Skanky Sylveon]

Should be self explanatory.  I made a dumb GIF, said GIF reads 13.9 MB on my machine.  When I upload it here and then download it, the size increases to 20.5 MB.

The conversation in queastion.

Yes i also noticed this bug long ago

the site is attempting to compress the gif , but essentially the sites compression method isn't very good at all and ends up making it bigger

If I might add, copying and pasting imaging has been met with interesting results.

 

This pic was 1.49MB and it washes out quite a bit.

 

 

Works fine when attached normally.

It doesn't do it every time.  In fact I've never noticed it happening but it does do it on occasion.

I suppose I should attach the unaltered version of my GIF.

As you can see, 13.9 MB.

Again, this is a GIF that I created, and I had to compress it rather heavily.

So that would make sense, if the forums are trying to re compress it.

I always expand when I upload to the forum!
