You can set global image resizing parameters in Site Manager -> Settings -> System -> Files -> Image resizing by entering the following values:

 

Automatic image resize on upload (width, height, max side size) - depending on which values you fill in, the functionality is the following when uploading images:

No values are entered - images are not resized.

Only width or only height - images are resized so that their width or height matches the entered value. The other dimension is also resized so that aspect ratio is preserved.

Both width and height - images are resized so that the larger dimension matches the respective entered value. Aspect ratio is preserved.

Max side size - if one of the image's sides is larger than this value, the image is resized so that its larger side's dimension matches the entered value. Aspect ratio is preserved and width and height settings are not applied.
