Hi there,
is there in the future roadmap of airtable development the possibility to upload images, automatically resizing images through predefined settings (crop image, image max dimensions, image quality, auto rename, etc.).
Thanks in advance
It would be very handy to be able to do some simple editing, especially image size and crops. File sizes of photos taken in the mobile app and attached to a record are often too large for what is needed.
I would like to be able to control the size/quality of pictures loaded/attached. I use the mobile App to track expense receipts but it is way too slow to take and upload pics, Being only receipts low image quality/size may fix the slowness issue. Any ideas anyone? Thx
I take a lot of pictures in the field and I donโt need high resolution. I need speedy and efficient uploads.
The way I see this working would be a โDefaultsโ definition on the โAttachmentโ field type.
I would like to define a maximum height in pixels or a maximum width in pixels. Any picture added to the field would be scale resized according to the defined maximums.
When taking pictures on the mobile app, the workflow could be:
Tap the โCameraโ icon on the Attachment field. This opens the camera.
Take the picture.
On the โRetryโ or โOKโ confirmation screen, you could tap-drag a box on the picture to crop. If cropping occurred, present another โRetryโ or โOKโ screen with the cropped image so you can accept, reject, or crop again.
Once you tap โOKโ, then you resize the image according to the fieldโs image size defaults.
I just hit the 20GB ceiling for Attachments in the Pro Plan. Like others on this thread, I do not need high res pictures for receiptsโฆ It makes the base size a lot larger than it needs to be. A Block to resize images would be nice. For now, I will have to separate the โOver limitsโ base into two bases.
We built an extension that compresses images on Airtable in bulk. You just need to name the field where the images are stored and it will shrink their file size + upload them to a new field. You can also set it up to automatically process any new records going forward (unlimited records).
We just built another extension for resizing imagesโ dimensions. You can set an exact width and height (or just one to maintain aspect ratio). Also you can use it to scale-down images based on a parentage.
