Because that is the number of bytes he occupies.
Still images should be less than 50kb.
That picture could easily be reduced with still enough room left for a bathroom en suite and a jacuzzi.
He is adorable though and as a backup name I think it should be Marmaduke De Bologne.

I did check the FAQ and it said it could stretch to under 250kb.
I tried to scale him down and it kept going all fuzzy for some reason.

jpeg has a compression control that lets you make images absoultely tiny, but the smaller it makes them the more messy they look.
Play with it a bit and learn what level of compression you need.

I did a massive bee pic and it was under 50kb in the same app, but this had more strokes and colours and came out quite big (in fact, the first one came out over a meg).
