Photo upload resolution?

[Cupid Stunt]

Is it better to upload smaller files of say 1024 pixels on the long edge rather than full size images as far as server space and page load goes or does the server resize them anyway?
Just wondering as there must be a limit to storage space on the servers

It is better to load smaller files if you can, there isn’t a limit set but common sense says to reduce them. If possible keep the horizontal to 1600 px or less. The BOTM picture on the homepage is medium resolution.webp.
