It's always nice to have an image with full clarity and usually higher the image size more will be the image data in it. But if you have a website or if you are planing to upload a photo online on your website or share photos with your friends online then these images with more data or larger image files will take much more time to load and in the worst case might not load large images at all. Also, the data consumption will be more for users who view these images. Large images will have to be re-sized for image optimization. Slow loading of webpage is a big no as it will irritate users. So, it's always better to load smaller image files which can load quickly on both your computer as well as on your mobile device.
