Classipress: How to compress images when user tries to upload them?

Hi

as you know, the size of the images to upload for the ads in classipress can be set to a maximum, so no bigger images can be uploaded. Let's say 2Mb.

I would like to know a way to compress the images when the user tries to upload them. Why?

Well, nowadays users use more and more the websites through the mobile. When they want to post an ad, they use the mobile as well, and they make a picture of whatever they want to use, with the mobile. The problem is that actual mobiles have powerful cameras, that get heavy pictures, so when they try to upload them with the mobile, the website doesn't allow it, because they weight too much. We can not expect that all the users go to the camera setting so their mobiles and change the resolution to upload the ads... it simply doesn't work like this, if they can not upload the picture, they create an ad without pictures (bad) or don't create the ad (very bad).

So I would like to know a WP plugin that allows users to upload any size picture and that automaticly resize them if they are heavier than 2Mb.

I am sure there must be something... what's your advice?

Thanks in advance!!
