API - Change image quality permanent

Marco Janc

September 28, 2017 11:12 Edited

We uploaded many JPEG images at 100% quality and we will soon hit our storage usage.

So we can save a lot of memory if we would upload them at around 85-90%. Does the API provides a function to change quality of images permanently? (in other words replace the original image with a quality transformation)

Else we need to write a script that downloads the 100% image and uploads it again at 85%, which will take a lot of time due to small bandwidth.

  Hi,

   

  Cloudinary supports applying an 'Incoming transformation' in order to transform your images before storing them in your account.

  Here's how (in Node.js)

  cloudinary.v2.uploader.upload("sample.jpg",
      { quality: 85, width: 500, height: 500, crop: "limit" },
      function(error, result) { console.log(result); });

  You can read more about it here:

  Hello,

  can I transform the uploaded pics permanently without uploading them again? Or can I use incoming transformations using Auto-uploading over URL? With the term Auto-uploading I mean this:

  https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/w_200,h_200,c_thumb,g_face,r_max,e_sharpen/remote_media/commons/a/ae/Olympic_flag.jpg

  Thank you

  RS

  Hi,

  Yes, you can use incoming transformations together with auto-uploading over URL by creating an Upload Preset with incoming-transformations with the same name as your upload-mapping.

  More information and example here:
