This is to do with Resolution, basically DPI [dots per inch] most of my scans are uploaded at 800x800 pixels at a RES of 72dpi, when I take the photo with my phone or 800x800px with a RES of 300dpi if I scan them via printer.
Any higher than 300dpi will make your scan heavy in KB [kilobytes] this is a translation of the amount of binary information in a file.

Check your resolution preset for scanners first and set to no more than 300.
When saving as a jpg - quality only needs to be about 75% and you will still have a decent image.

You can check your jpgs size and res. in windows by right clicking the file and going to properties> Details.
