Description

When you upload a very optimized image sometimes the created attachment size's file size is larger than the source image. When a new size is created its filesize should be checked whether it's really smaller or not. Now it just allocates extra space and uses extra bandwidth.

Hi @adamradocz - thanks for opening the ticket and providing the sample image.

When you upload a very optimized image sometimes the created attachment size's file size is larger than the source image

Can you clarify which image (size) you are referring to? When uploading, core typically creates numerous sizes (the default core size + any custom sizes added by your theme or plugins). Are you inserting/using the "full" sized image?

Can you please provide exact steps to reproduce? Where are you seeing the larger created image (on the server only, or is it used on the website frontend)?
