This was while attempting to restore to a subreddit "lol.zip" a backup of /r/leagueoflegends

Ouch, that's a difficult one to solve. After converting to PNGs, Reddit may actually increase the size of the image beyond acceptable boundaries, on its own servers. Open up the backup zip and compress the image.

Closing this issue as unsolvable.
