Can we change a picture size when we display it from a linked website? It seems that the picture is always displayed at maximum size.

1All of the imgur options should be available; see here and scroll down to Thumbnails. – KutuluMike Dec 1 '16 at 16:55

Yes
When you go to the 'add an image', it provides an option to 'provide a link from the web'. Let's use this image of Saruman for example.
This is it's natural size:
Here I'm adding an 'l' at the end of the imgur link at the bottom to make it large.
Her's an 'm' for medium.
And here's an 's' for small.
(Admittedly, in this image, there isn't much difference between the first three. With a humongous image, however, there is a noticeable difference.)

Best practice is to inline a smaller image, but to link to the fullsize image. – SQB Dec 1 '16 at 16:57

Regardless of the size chosen, the maximum width will still be based on the post area. So smaller screens or mobile app may still not ever see a giant version (but they may have to use data to download the full version, which is why I prefer using medium) – user31178 Dec 1 '16 at 17:26
