I attached and posted a PNG image that was 424Kb png.
On my phone's file manager, it shows as 424Kb. (Android 5.1.1). In the post footer where it shows an attached image, it shows as 424k. When I sync it using Google Drive to a WIndows 7 computer, it still shows as 424kb.
However, I received feedback from other forumers that this file was over the size limit. Trace said it was 8Mb.
When I right-click on the image link in the Vanilla post, it downloads as a 7.92Mb png. The filename is different, too.
They're both 1920x1080px pngs, so I don't know what the difference is.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

compression changes would though, per pngcheck:
File: Screenshot_2016-03-14-17-27-12.png (435124 bytes) [...] chunk IDAT at offset 0x00034, length 8192 zlib: deflated, 32K window, default compression [...] No errors detected in Screenshot_2016-03-14-17-27-12.png (57 chunks, 93.0% compression). File: xtsqxnt8e9zq.png (8309813 bytes) [...] chunk IDAT at offset 0x0003a, length 8192 zlib: deflated, 32K window, superfast compression [...] No errors detected in xtsqxnt8e9zq.png (1016 chunks, -0.2% compression).The compression level changed from "default" to "superfast", resulting in a change from 93% compression to -0.2% compression.
Yikes!

Looks like there might be some 'processing' involved in handling image uploads if they're larger in dimensions. That might actually be stripping compression and other metadata/config/etc out of these pngs.
I wonder if it happens with pngs that are less than 1000px wide/tall ? Not sure what the exact cut off is.
