In this answer, the image was scaled down automatically.

Was it done automatically in the past?

Because this image is way too big.

This is an imgur feature:

The original image:
https://i.sstatic.net/6Mqcu.gif
Image

To get the "Medium" scaled version add an "m" to the filename:
https://i.sstatic.net/6Mqcum.gif
Image

To get the "Small" scaled version add an "s" to the filename:
https://i.sstatic.net/6Mqcus.gif
Image

Note however that if your image is a gif or png with transparency "interesting things" can happen to it in scaling (as illustrated here by the horrible mutilation of the background)

    $\begingroup$ Large size is also available with l, and small size with t. The large size is only perhaps 5% smaller than the automatic resizing that the site does. The l, m, and t (thumbnail?) sizes retain the aspect ratio, while the s size crops the image to square. $\endgroup$
