I cannot say for sure if it will be too much or not, but I can say this. A lot of it really depends on what type of files you're using. JPEG is the lowest quality of image and is honestly the best type to use when sending something since it processes easier, etc. PNG is higher quality, but really only use this when you absolutely have to. Basically saying, if you're an art student or these are important photos that you're submitting than keep them PNG, but if this is just for something casual or nothing that is REQUIRED to be higher quality, than use JPEG images.

If your images are not in JPEG format, you can change them to JPEG easily. If you have the Paint program that most computers come with, load them up into the program and click 'save as' and then there will be a drop down menu toward the bottom and make sure that JPEG or JPG is selected as the type of file that you want it to be.

You'll have the most luck fitting both files this way.
