Possible malfunction: Bot tripled filesize while simultaneously downscaling image

Hello -- an image I had uploaded was simultaneously downscaled from 400x400 to 316x316, yet the filesize was tripled from 10 KB to 29 KB.

The image is here: File:ChinaSMACK blog logo version with black background.jpg Top5a (talk) 00:05, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

@Top5a: Unfortunately I'm unsure why this has happens, but if doesn't occur regularly enough to be an issue. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 07:50, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

No problem! Just was alerting you to the issue. Did not have a chance to take a look at the code, but, if it becomes more widespread, perhaps just a simple comparator of the generated image with the original would suffice. Cheers! Top5a (talk) 08:26, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Resizing question (moved to asker's talk page)

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Hi, man.

Please, I need your help.

What can I do so that this file File:Bruno Santos by Juan Martin.jpg is not deleted?

The copyright holder authorized me to use this photo. I have an email (I copied the wiki), and I can forward it to the admins.

Please, help me.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, this is not the place for your request. You're on the user page of the DatBot operator, who isn't in control over your file being deleted or not.

Secondly, your file isn't nominated or scheduled for deletion. It was simply resized to comply with Wikipedia's requirement for non-free images (including yours) to be under 0.1 MP.

I'll go ahead and add the corresponding template(s) that show you have obtained authorization from the copyright holder to use the photo.

@DatGuy: Feel free to remove the section or this response, I'll make sure to put it on his Talk page as well for further review or discussion. ★Ama ^{TALK CONTRIBS} 00:22, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
