Hi!
Has anyone come across a way to bulk / auto reduce image size for uploaded attachments to Airtable? I also use Zapier and I am looking for a way to do it without taking on another monthly subscription only for this task.
Thank you!

To reduce image sizes for attachments in Airtable without taking on another subscription, you can consider the following approaches:
Zapier with Cloudinary: You can use Cloudinary's free tier in conjunction with Zapier to automatically resize images when they are uploaded. Create a Zap that triggers on a new attachment in Airtable, processes the image through Cloudinary to resize it, and then updates the record in Airtable with the resized image.
Manual Batch Processing: If automating the process is not essential, you can manually download the images, batch resize them using free tools like TinyPNG or Photoshop, and then re-upload them to Airtable.
Using Airtable's Built-In Features: Although Airtable doesn't have built-in image resizing, if your need is not urgent, you might keep an eye on any updates from Airtable or third-party apps that could integrate this feature in the future.
Script in Airtable: If you are comfortable with coding, you could write a script in Airtable's scripting block to automate image resizing. This would require integrating with an image processing API, but it can be done within Airtable without additional subscriptions.

To reduce image sizes for Airtable attachments without an additional subscription, you can use Zapier + Cloudinary:
Upload to Cloudinary via Zapier: Use Zapier to send your images from Airtable to Cloudinary.
Resize in Cloudinary: Automatically resize the images using Cloudinary's transformation features.
Return to Airtable: Use Zapier to send the resized images back to Airtable.
Cloudinary offers a free tier, which should cover basic usage without needing an extra subscription.
