## Handling User Images on the [[Full Stack Framework#Backend|Backend]]
* Images should be validated to be images and not some other file type
* Always set limits. Max size, min size, max file size. Keep consistent.
* Images should be converted and optimized for size and speed
* Transforming can destroy low level attacks by modifying the image
* Do not store user content on the application server
* Keeps App Server Ephemeral
