File size increases after cropping image using File Picker

[jsakas]

When uploading and cropping an image file using the File Picker, we see the file size of the cropped image increase significantly. These are the option we are passing into the picker:

{
  accept: ['image/jpg', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png'],
  fromSources: ['local_file_system'],
  transformations: {
    crop: {
      aspectRatio: 16 / 10, force: true
    },
  }
}

Here is the image we are cropping (about 975kb):

After cropping the image slightly, it is increased to 2.3 mb:

Expected Behavior

Image size does not increase after cropping.

Current Behavior

Image size more than doubles after cropping.
