Hi everyone 👋
I’m using Appwrite on the Free Plan. When I try to display images using getFilePreview() from the Storage API, I get this error:
"message": "Image transformations are blocked on your current plan.",
"code": 403,
"type": "storage_image_transformations_blocked",
"version": "1.7.4"
It seems like both preview and view are considered “image transformations.”
Is there any way to directly embed uploaded images (e.g., in an tag) on the Free Plan without hitting this limitation?
Summary
Issue: Cannot display images using getFilePreview() due to image transformations being blocked on the Free Plan.
Solution: Unfortunately, direct embedding of uploaded images using an <img> tag is considered an image transformation, which is blocked on the Free Plan. Upgrading the Appwrite plan may be necessary to access this feature.
