be able to save anything with a file size less than about 16K. Even if it is a maximum compressed .jpg only a few pixels wide they are still that size.
Saving the same image using Corel Photopaint gets them down to 4K (my cluster size therefore as small as it can get).
Is this just me? have I missed something? are you able to save tiny .jpg thumbnails with a file size of only 4K?

I have a file that’s 485×944 pixels, ‘Save for Web…’ created a 6k file.

If you used ‘Save’ or ‘Save as’ you might be getting a preview with the image, make sure you don’t have Preview checked.

if youre creating images only a few pixels wide and if they are for web pages then you should save them as gifs.

Do "Save For Web". And then fiddle with the output settings. That’ll drop your output significantly. Do to byte-size should you so choose.

Enjoy,
