Which image format are you using and how many photos do you have?
GS convert image in .PNG format and duplicate and scale it for any resolution.
ohhhhh but can we do something for it.........
will lowering the resolution will work
@Karan_Taley_1999 -- Yes, lower the resolution to just as much as needed (generally speaking, twice the size of the actor). So for an actor 40x40, you want a 80px by 80px texture. There might be exceptions to this rule (the actor grows at some point etc.), but otherwise, if you have bigger graphics files, you are wasting memory and ballooning the file size.
Look at the games made by @ashtmj -- they have beautiful crisp graphics, a ton of content, and the app sizes are under 100 MB, or even under 50 MB! That, I call impressive. (Yep, there is a lot I would love to learn from him...)
