I'd think that the software will scale it down to fit in the avatar space because any HTML can tell an image to be a certain size, but I wonder if it scales it down in terms of file size etc? I would think that part of the reason that we are asked to make it small is so that people aren't having to download large files. A large file (in terms of bytes) can be displayed as a tiny image but still have all the underlying data that makes it a large file.
