Increase in the size of image after putting the image in the asset folder as sprite in Unity
I have got an image with Dimension - 1000 X 900 & image size - 39.0 KB. When I put this same image inside the assets folder as sprite, the default values in the Override option is as Max Size - 1024, Format - Compressed. A warning comes under neath where it says, that, Only POT Textures can be compressed to ETC1 format. The image size is increased to 2.6 MB.
I have no clue why this happens after using the image in Unity. It will be very helpful, if anyone helps. Anyone's help is hugely appreciated.
Your dimensions for the image are not in Powers Of Two (POT), the image probably increased in size due to unity's texture import compression settings.
