Let's say you have a 100 MB Photoshop file in your project. An LFS-enhanced local Git repository will be significantly smaller in size because it breaks one basic rule of Git in an elegant way: it does not keep all of the project's data in your local repository. This problem in mind, Git's standard feature set was enhanced with the "Large File Storage" extension - in short: "Git LFS". Most annoyingly, the majority of this huge amount of data is probably useless for you: most of the time, you don't need each and every version of a file on your disk. Working with large binary files can be quite a hassle: they bloat your local repository and leave you with Gigabytes of data on your machine.
