Expected behaviour

When selecting a file from a tmp folder and uploading it, the uploaded file's size should remain the same.

Actual behaviour

On selecting an image using openPicker or openCropper method and using the path and other data to create a formData object for the file upload, the compressed file size (say 250kB) is getting almost doubled or larger after upload (like 500 kB). But, if I select the same file, use it in POSTman, and upload it via the same API, the uploaded file size comes out to be 250kB only.
