Browsers don't support XCF and DjVu files so users can't see the images in Openverse outside of thumbnails. We want to improve this, so the thumbnail at full size must be displayed instead of the original file. @sarayourfriend suggested using the thumbnail URL passing full_size=True and compressed=False.
For full provenance of the idea, @zackkrida originally suggested using a larger version of the thumbnail, I just added details for how to easily implement it.

.Take this XCF for example: https://openverse.org/image/054b17fa-fdd7-42bb-a1a4-8989fbe4a074 This DjVu for example: https://openverse.org/image/e141c4e0-239b-4c67-80d0-d5cce5d8d08c
