How can I Reduce Image Size such as from 4 MB to 200 KB with Thunkable X

[peacehero]

Hello, I want to save image to database as low sized. But how to reduce image size?

Hello

This can be done using the Cloudinary API. See https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_transformations#adjusting_image_quality

Thanks, but I’m not familiar with Cloudinary API. Could you suggest some tutorials to do that?

Docs from Thunkable https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db

Thunkable X does not work with the file system, so you need to find a service that can save the image with a reduced size. With Thukable X, you can only save it as text (base64 format)

Okey, and this service costs money just to do thing I want?

There may be both paid and free solutions.
