At the moment we are showing all the user avatars using Cloudfront and we resize them to the small size which we need.

In general, I would suggest not limiting the uploading photo size, as it's easier to resize a photo using some server-side script then to force customers to do it manually.

Do we have some server-side limitations for photos sizes or any other downsides of allowing users to upload big photos?

@maxceem I don't think we have any limit on file upload size limit. But it might make sense to put some kind of file upload size limit e.g. 10 MB might be good for profile pic. We can pick this value from configuration to enable easy change in future.
But I think the profile pic is uploaded via member api which we don't control at present. So, I guess we have to move it to backlog for now.

We can validate the size of the picture client-side if you like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27309921/how-to-validate-the-image-size-before-uploading.

Lets leave it for now and keep it in backlog.
