The image resolution 3000x4000 is way too big and not necessary. You can scale the image down to 60% and it would still be more than enough.

You can scale the image in the "FileHelper.java" class. In the reduceImageForUpload() function, change 100 to 60.

public static byte[] reduceImageForUpload(byte[] imageData) {
        Bitmap bitmap = ImageResizer.resizeImageMaintainAspectRatio(imageData, SHORT_SIDE_TARGET);

        ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 60, outputStream);
        byte[] reducedData = outputStream.toByteArray();
        try {
            outputStream.close();
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            // Intentionally blank
        }

        return reducedData;
    }
