The outcome image has a bigger memory size (at times it is more than 10MB !!!)

[arkaanNotion]

The size of the outcome cropped image is too big, on further analysis I found out the the _imageAsUIImage (imageInfo.image) is actually a larger size compared to the original. Is there any workaround this, I have tried ways to make it work

Any way found for this @arkaanNotion ?

encodePng is responsible for increase in size, i tried a simple test and results were

Original Image Size: 40000
Encoded Image Size: 120047

this was just an encodePng applied on an image, and size increase by almost 3 times
i tried with Jpg and Png images as sample, and same results
