Default Why exactly does Paint.NET make bigger files than Irfanview?

I don't know what the above line is about, and I haven't seen the
original post, but just reading the subject line:

Are you making .JP(E)G files? If so, IrfanView has a "quality" setting
(set to 80% by default I think, but I _think_ it remembers what you
choose if you change it). This can significantly affect filesize.
