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
The issue requires implementing automatic thumbnail generation from uploaded images. First, examine the existing upload flow in the codebase, likely in components related to file uploads and the spee.ch integration. Look for any existing image handling utilities or references to thumbnail creation. The resize logic should handle images larger than ~500px wide or 5MB, possibly using canvas API. Check if there are any open discussions or linked PRs for guidance.
