Cloud, think of it like this: every digital picture has a "real" size. If that real size happens to be huge, a lot of programs are smart enough to zoom out so that it can fit on your screen. So you could be previewing the picture on your computer, and not know the picture is actually giant, because your program has zoomed out to make it fit on your screen. If you want to find out the real size of a file, open it in MS Paint, which will never resize your photos. What you see is what it is. (And if you make it smaller, and save it, that's a permanent change--you can never stretch it bigger again without making the image blurry.)
