Why do screenshots taken from the same phone have different file sizes?
In: Technology
Photographs are rarely stored as raw data. A 1920×1080 image would be about 6 megabytes stored raw, but file compression algorithms let us get it smaller than that. These algorithms find patterns and shortcuts to use less data to store the same image. Depending upon the patterns that are used and how common they are in the image, it may wind up being significantly larger or smaller.
