Signal-android: Don't scale down images attached as "files"
Sometimes there is the need for sending an image as-is, without further compression/scaling. As now Signal supports big and arbitrary attachment, please leave images alone when sending them as "Files" and not from the "Gallery".
The workaround now is renaming the file, but it's rather clunky on Android

I'm interested, is this done in the app itself or on the server?

It's done around here in-app:

Media only leave your device encrypted (for Signal messages). I cannot imagine that there is a method which resizes encrypted media (e.g. on the server).
