you could use the GD extension and write a script to analyse the image and output HTML with sizes specified. That way you can check the original width/height and if it's smaller than your thumbnail size you keep the original dimensions.

You could probably achieve the same with CSS. Make a div with fixed size then set image dimensions to auto. Not 100% sure that this will work in case the image is too big and pushes div dimensions up. Try nesting a few divs or using a table.

Otherwise you could save the thumbnails with a white border if they are smaller than the standard thumb size (eg 25x25 image with 25px white border gives you a 50x50 image). You can get the GD extension to do this if you have lots of images.
