Description
The images are the highest source of bandwidth use on the Zeus site. A lot of images shown there are hosted on pics.zeus.gent. If on upload we could automatically convert the image using imagemagick to webp or so, we would save a lot of bandwidth and speed up/improve the experience of visiting our site

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the upload and image-serving entry points in the repository, then determine how a converted default and an original-quality URL request would fit. Done means uploaded images use a lower-bandwidth format by default while an explicit request returns the original quality.
