Image size restriction increases file size about bootstrap-wysiwyg

[spreadred]

@SridharRamasami I assume this is occurring using my fork, as image resize is not implemented in original repo?

Hi Kaptain,
Yes. Im using your fork. Looks like base 64 increases the size when converted from binary. Also browsers do not compress the image efficiently.
Any work arounds you can think of?

Worked around it by asking it to return a jpg instead of a png. Works well now.
return fc.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 0.8);

Not sure whether to call it a bug or not. Maintainers, feel free to close this if you think its not.

@SridharRamasami Thanks for reporting this issue and providing a workaround. At this point I'd say it is certainly unintended behavior, but perhaps not a bug. I never bothered to check on the resulting file size of the images after resizing. I will look into this and perform some further tests with images of different resolutions before determining how I'd like to resolve the issue.
