implement Image compression on upload for mobile

So, I had seen some post talking about bumping up the image upload limit such as 

https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360031101592-Increase-max-file-size-for-free-accounts  

I wonder instead of uploading images in high resolution, discord could implement image compression for the image that's "too powerful" upload for the client-side. now I'm not sure how discord is implemented, so it might be difficult for discord dev to implement. but it will greatly improve the user experience for all user.

EDIT: made my request more clearly, it's for the powerful images for the non nitro users to upload, with the modern phone and stuff, images that's taken by the camera can easily go up to 10mb or something like that, i think bumping up the size will cost more for the discord, so instead i think discord could provide option to reduce the power(size) of the image, sure the quality might not be as good as the original image, it surely solve a lot of hassle for us.

    I would prefer to either keep things as they are before sacrificing quality. I would rather have smaller but high quality images over pixelated nightmares.

    @Mittens, i dont think you get my point, it reduce the needs of people needing to do weird trickery so that their photo can be uploaded, compression doesn't necessary turns your photo into pixelated mess, it depends on the settings of the compression algorithm that they use.
