c# - Image size got bigger when trying to reduce its size

Question

I am trying to resize a pic of format jpg, reduce it's resolution in order for it to be smaller when I download it to the site HTML. Using the tutorial in the link: image resizing tutorial

I managed to resize the resolution including cropping when needed. My problem is that actual size of the image got bigger instead of smaller as I expected.

Any ideas please?

If a JPEG image file is getting bigger when you are reducing the dimensions, it's because you are saving it with a higher quality setting than the original.
