The accepted answer was in 2013.

We don’t need to re-upload the assets anymore for that!

So I am updating here for anyone who stumbles on this in more recent times.

To make an asset public to private or vice-versa on Cloudinary, we can use the rename method of uploader as neatly suggested in this Cloudinary Support link.

In PHP:

$result = \Cloudinary\Uploader::rename($from_public_id, $to_public_id, $options = []);

It's on Cloudinary's road map to support changing between public and private file types.
Currently you can re-upload private images as public images (using Cloudinary URLs as input for upload). Another option is to enable 'Strict Transformations' mode (From the Dashboard's settings page) and use our explicit API to create the required derived images without allowing the transformation globally.
Here's the 'explicit' documentation (PHP): http://cloudinary.com/documentation/php_image_upload#refresh_images
