Why do my photos thake so much space?
I imported all my photos to my computer, mind you i had less than 300 photos, and still they take up 9GB.
Also in itunes it shows me this.
(i have an iphone 5, jailbroken, ios 8.1)
What should I do?

You've got over 4000 photos, of course they take up space. You can get space back by deleting some or by compressing them at reduced quality or at a smaller size, but given that hard drives cost something like 40c/Gb, why not just buy another disk and sace them there.
Raster images are extremely consuming in terms of resources. This was a major issue back in the day. Images have to store all of the pixels that are captured. On larger resolution cameras, that can take up large amounts of space… You can drop your resolution, move them to a larger drive, or just start deleting them.
Either delete some pictures, or start using a lower resolution.
- Why is other taking up so much space on my iPhone? - 1 And more importantly, what can I get rid of to get more space? I've deleted texts, calls, voicemails, emails, photos, songs, safari cookies & data, AND notes. What is going on? It's taking up around 3 GBs (or whatever) and it's killing me.
- Why does some of the photos that I take with my iPhone 6 so much bigger than the other photos? I didn't change any of the settings in my phone as I have been taking one photo after the other. I don't think it is a burst shot either because I do not hold the capture button for long. So I'm expecting all photos to be relatively the same. Some photos even reached 200MB! I'm puzzled atm…
- Why does my small amount of photos take up so much space? On my iPhone 7, I have only 76 pictures/videos. When I click manage storage, it says that they take up 1.3 gb of space, while my friends have hundreds of photos but when they click manage storage, it only takes up a couple hundred mb. Why do the photos take up so much space on my phone or how can I fix this problem?
- Why does my photos take space on my iPhone? I noticed my photos took 3GB of space so I deleted them all. I go check my space again and it says my Photo Library takes 1.8GB
