It's just a mirror image of an 8gb card. Uncompressed.

So its an entire 8gb card including empty space?!?!

The OP said it's an image for an 8GB card (they're never actually 8GB, so 7.2G is probably about right for an uncompressed image).  I usually at least zero out the unused space and compress the image before uploading it.
