How can the total size of all frames of a video > that video's size?

I commanded Free Video to JPG converter to convert EVERY FRAME of some family .mp4 into JPGs. One .mp4 of 131 MB got converted into pictures totalling 700 MB! Another .mp4 of 377 MB got converted into pictures totalling 1.0 GB!
Undeniably, these pictures all hail from the video. Thus I'm bewildered by this Emergentism! How the heck can picture frames from a video outstrip that selfsame video itself?!!??!?
