Question: How to resize a Batch of Images in Linux all at once?
NOTE: Tried and tested in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal
Answer:
To resize a batch of images we need to use a command line tool mogrify this tool forms part of the ImageMagick Libraries
To use the mogrify command line tool we will need to install ImageMagick
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
After the install locate the folder via the command line where the images are that need to be resized
cd /home/name/myPhotosResized
Type in the following command to resize the images in the myPhotosResized folder to 1280px in width and maintaining the original aspect ratio
mogrify -resize 1280 *.jpg
To force the images to resize to 1280x800 without keeping the aspect ratio use the following command
mogrify -resize 1280×800! *.jpg |
