You really think they want you to save a lot of invented bits
and blow their file up in size with all that false data ?

They want you to save the same visible information, without
any obvious further degradation. That's easily achieved
by saving in a lossless format, but not very clever,
and doesn't honour the quality/file size trade-off they've
already agreed to and want, since they are saving back
to the lossy file format they opened.
