🚀 [Feature] Compress uploaded images automatically

🚀 Feature
Post authors should be able to upload images without too much hassle (so the file size should not be too heavily restricted).
Users should be able to view posts without having to download huge images (eating up bandwidth and taking a long time).
So the desired solution is to automatically compress all images that are uploaded to our network by our users. From my experience I would propose a maximum size of roughly 500-800KB – though this should be tested to make sure the images still have an acceptable quality.
Additional context
This came up when we realized that images touched by cropperjs would have file sizes around 10MB! More thoughts here: #1933 (closed)
