Can I apply a transformation BEFORE the file is saved in Cloudinary

We would like to pre-transform files before storing them in cloudinary.  The use case is a user uploads a high-res image.  Nothing in our system requires high resolution, so we'd like to downsample it first to lower our image storage costs.  Is there a way to accomplish this?

  Hi Joe,

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

  Here's how (.NET documentation):

  How do I do it when using fetch to upload images?

  Incoming transformations are not supported for 'fetch'. You can apply an incoming transformation as your default upload preset (can be set from within your Upload settings page, and upload your remote URLs with our Auto-upload feature instead of fetch.

  Another option is to use the standard upload and set the image's URL as the upload sources, this of course support applying an incoming transformation while uploading.
