Description
## Feature request
When uploading an image it would be nice to allow the same image to be used as the thumbnail for the image. If the image is over x size (>5 mb? >500 pixels wide or tall) then the client should automatically resize the image and upload it to spee.ch as the thumbnail.

Research direction
Start by locating the client-side image upload flow and the code that assigns thumbnails. Clarify the size thresholds and whether resizing happens before upload, then verify that the original image and generated thumbnail are both accepted by spee.ch. The issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry points must first be found in the JavaScript client.
