I had a look at it and my understanding is that:

• Supabase will by default use the transform option to download the picture in the target size
• Supabase buckets will, based on the parameters of this transform request, serve a size appropriate version of the picture
• should the client support it, the picture is served in WebP for image optimization.

It already looks pretty solid to me. Did you already take care of this, or were you talking about resizing / optimizing picture at upload time to save on storage costs?

Hey @BigEZ , this issue is a bit stale. I actually did end up implementing supabase's transform option, but then quickly discovered that the number of transforms that happen far exceeds the quota for the current tier.

I'm in a brainstorming / information gathering phase now as I think on what to do next. I've started a discussion to collect some feedback though I haven't had a chance to publicize it yet (I intend to make it more visible around end of the year I think). But it's clear supabase's transform option won't suffice. I've cut down it's usage to just avatars and community images and it's still over the limit, so I'm going to have to reduce it even further.
