I am using Uploadify on one of my client’s web sites to allow them to upload a large amount of pictures at once to their photo gallery.

I am seeing issues lately. They seem to upload large photographs (3 MB and above). I am wondering, is it possible to compress (reduce their size) on the client side, instead of doing it on the server (just like facebook does it).
I know I could easily do it on the server, but I am working on another project right now, where I am expecting a large flow of photo uploads. It would require significant amount of CPU time to process them all. So I thought, I’d ask about the client side processing.

Thanks.
