File previews/image thumbnailing

Unclear if this is a feature request, seeking advice, or a free startup idea, but... it'd be cool to have an endpoint that serves cached auto-generated previews of files in Convex storage, especially images. I think this might be a rather common, yet labor-intensive to do well, need.

Maybe the simplest way to implement this would be as an HTTP action, with an associated table to keep track of the generated previews? Could become a new helper in

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
