Hi Folks,
In this post I cover how to resize images easily with the terminal using ImageMagick. We cover 2 scenarios. The first is if you want to maintain aspect ratio while the second is if you want the resulting image to have a specific width and height, regardless of aspect ratio.
Resizing Images while maintaining Aspect Ratio
You can use a command like
convert -resize 1024X768 source.png dest.jpg
Resizing Images without locking Aspect Ratio
The command is similar to the above except that you need to add !. Here is an example.
convert -resize 1024X768! source.png dest.jpg
That’s all for now. Till next time, happy graphics manipulations.
