Hello @Nilesh_Shirsat

I just checked the source code.

It appears that when using the crop/rotate feature, images are converted to PNG quality 100%, regardless of the original file format, which explains the (large) increase of the file size.

I’ll add a bug report to our internal tracking system, and my coworkers will update this thread once the bug is fixed

Hello @Nilesh_Shirsat

Thank you for spotting this issue :muscle: .
A fix has just been released to conserve the MIME type while rotating or cropping the image.

You will notice there is still a small increase in size when rotating: it is due to the way we manage and encode the image after the rotation. It shall be reworked in the future :rocket:
