Prepare image attachments stored in Airtable with two miniExtensions automations: Compress and Resize Images reduces file sizes or changes image dimensions, while Rotate Images changes image orientation. Both save processed copies in a separate attachment field.
What you can do
- Use Compress and Resize Images to reduce file sizes or change dimensions.
- Resize proportionally or specify dimensions, and use Rotate Images to correct orientation.
- Save processed copies in a separate attachment field.
Choose the right image automation
Compress and Resize Images
Use Compress and Resize Images to adjust compression quality, resize images, or do both. Proportional scaling changes both dimensions together, while fixed dimensions let you prepare a consistent output size for another workflow.
Rotate Images
Use Rotate Images to turn images by a chosen angle, such as correcting sideways product photos or scans. Choose the rotation you need and save the resulting images in the output field.
Each automation can process image attachments across many records, saving the resulting copies in the output field. This is useful for catalog assets, standardized previews, or files prepared for a website.
Check representative source sizes and formats before applying one configuration to a mixed collection. Keep original images separately when you need another size or quality setting later, and compare both appearance and file size when adjusting compression.
A practical example
A catalog team can keep original photos in one field and create smaller copies in another. Use a scale factor for a proportional reduction, or specify a target width for a consistent publishing workflow. Inspect the output before replacing images used elsewhere.
How to get started
On the create extension page, choose Compress and Resize Images or Rotate Images. Select the source and output image fields, configure the image settings, and review sample images before processing the collection.
Good to know
Results depend on the source format and chosen transformations. Keep separate originals if you may need them later.
