I think you can check this example https://github.com/node-formidable/formidable/blob/master/examples/forceBuffer.js

Or you can try formidable-mini which is trimmed down version of formidable - just the parser and exposes a FormData/File API, thus meaning the "files" there are regular Web API Files, so you can file.arrayBuffer() (arraybuffer/uint8array) to Cosmic.
