Why piwigo takes so much more space than gallery3?

Hello/Hi/Greetings,

I was trying to move my sites again...Noticed my gallery3 site was 456 meg and it became 2 GB with piwigo.
Another site was even worse with 4 GB space (gallery3 was 200 meg but I uploaded about 100 more files). These are simply files in directories, not including the mysql databases.

is there a way to remove the original files in piwigo to reduce this space requirement?

thanks.

You may have enabled all sizes' derivatives, take a look at Admin -> Configuration -> Options, tab Photo sizes, and enable only those that you want. And delete unneeded under Admin -> Tools -> Maintenance.
