title: Image resize before upload
body: <p>I need to provide a means for a user to upload photos to their web site in jpeg format.  However, the photos are very large in original size, and I would like to make the resize before upload option very effortless for the user.  It seems my only options are a client side application that resizes the photos before uploading them via a web service, or a client side JavaScript hook on the upload operation that resizes the images.  The second option is very tentative because I don't have a JavaScript image resizing library, and it will be difficult to get the JavaScript to run my current resize tool, ImageMagick.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm sure this is not too uncommon a scenario, and some suggestions or pointers to sites that do this will be appreciated.</p>
