Image optimization

[IbrahimA]

Hi there,
I am working on an app where a good number of images may be uploaded by the users. Is there a way to control the size of uploaded image, otherwise the app total size may reach its limits fast.
What is the best way to educate the users on image optimization?
Thanks!
