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.
