Default Excel File size, when imported JPG images

Do you have to use the Image control? When importing a 50 KB image, I end
with a 60 KB file with out the Image control versus 900 KB with the control.

Hi, I am trying to import JPG images in to an Image control
I have in my excel sheet. Even though the JPG is 60 KB in
size, when I import the image and save my excel, excel size
grows exponentially, to 4 MB. When I have 600 KB JPG, excel
size went to 17 MB. Can you tell if there is any way to
avoid this problem, why is this happening, is there any
property in the image control which can help to solve the
problem?

TIA
