Hello This can be done using the Cloudinary API.

Docs from Thunkable [https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db](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) Best regards, Alex [ACtech demo project](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5d70f93f8a62b4079eedaff2/project/properties/designer/) [Thunkable X Basic Programming Course](http://droidscript.ru/main/title_ds15.php) [Block Reference](http://droidscript.ru/main/statyi/thunkableios_blockhelper.php) [Component Reference](http://droidscript.ru/main/statyi/thunkableios_objects.php) [Bug tracker](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5dbd5243a77acad1b26f851f/project/properties/designer/) ---
