Image Size in Note

[Devmodo19 1]

I don't do this very often, but I've noticed when I include images in Evernote on Macbook Pro, the note size ends up being MUCH larger than the image on disk. Why is that? Is that just a sleezy ploy by Evernote to make money or is there a compression issue when storing images in notes?

Do you have specific examples of the image size problem

I import images in many notes and just tried an example on my Mac
Image size: 3,212,076 bytes (3.2 MB on disk)
The note size says 3.1MB in Evernote,
but the actual note folder says: 3,655,378 bytes (3.7 MB on disk) for 9 items

Actual note files are listed to the right.  There would also be a database entry but it's insignificant in size

 

 

>>or is there a compression issue when storing images in notes?

I'm seeing no compression at all with the untouched photo
