Why Transformations was being counted when I do the normal sync folder without invoke Transformation api

Hello everyone, 

I'm a novice., why transformations have been counted when I run CLI command to sync folder. I also have set Strict transformations to on

cld sync --push one one-cli-test

In the one folder, it has png, SVG, etc.

Does Cloudinary will automatically apply transformations to every image when it is being uploaded? Even you did not invoke transformations API or command. it will still apply the transformation to every uploaded image?

Is there any way to avoid applying transformation when I upload it? Because I do want to keep my original image assets

Thanks for your support

  Hi @whatfood Dev,

  The Transformation quota can be a bit confusing at first, but effectively, it can more accurately be described as Processing rather than strictly Transformations.

  Each upload of image/video counts as 1 Transformation quota for the upload itself. You can apply transformations to be run during the upload process but those are optional while the 1 Transformation for an upload will be counted always. Unlike Image and Video files, Raw files, such as Text, Microsoft Word/Excel, CSV, CSS, ZIP files etc will not consume 1 Transformation for their upload.

  Please see the following support article on this topic that provides more details and FAQ section -

  In terms of image/video optimizations, we recommend you to perform those upon delivery of your assets while uploading the original (full sized/quality) version in your cloud.
