I'm not entirely sure what kind of "component" you mean, but Thumbs Plus is excellent. I've been using it for years and it automatically creates a thumbnail database of every single image on my drives. I'm not sure about image upload since I don't use it for that.
If your only going to be dealing with gif and jpg's then its pretty simple to do in code without the component. Persits have quite a nice one, but its not free iirc.

I scanned a lot of such components comparing their properties/methods. Some of them are already installed on the server... In Hotscripts there are a good number of them listed.
Some key features in choosing such a component would be:
