Resize an image before uploading into the database?

LSDevFeb 15 2018 — edited Feb 15 2018

I am wondering if it is possible in the latest version of APEX to resize an image before inserting into the database.

If I use the APEX file browse item and submit the page, this goes into the temporary file table, and the image could be processed from there, but at this point it is too late.

As cameras are getting better on phones, if a user takes a photograph and uploads it via an APEX application on a smartphone, the image size can be huge. If the user is on a mobile device and doesn't have great signal, this could be an issue.

has anyone had any success resizing an image before sending it to the database?  I have a feeling I might be looking at JavaScript and Canvases, but I haven't got very far.
