Our image uploading functionality (for listing photos and I think avatars) compresses images on the client side. This saves a lot of space on our Supabase storage without much visual difference.

Experimenting with a HEIC file today (the standard format for iOS camera), this file was barely compressed: 4.3 to 4.13 MB. Converting it to a JPEG, and then uploading that JPEG, resulted in 5.6 MB to 1.43 MB.

So we should fix the HEIC compression, or have the client convert those to JPEG before compressing.
