How to rescale multiple image files?

Makaelin · 11-08-2004, 05:45 PM

Been searching here and Google without much success, though this has to be common enough that I'm sure I'm just not using the right terminology.

I'm wondering if there's a way to use GIMP to rescale/resize multiple image files at once? Or if another tool can be used to do it? I'm just beginning to get into photo/image manipulation on Linux, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try scripting convert

I use "mogrify" (it's part of the ImageMagick package). You can incorporate it into a quick script, or simply use it on its own.

For example:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
for name in *.jpg
do
 mogrify -resize 128x128 "$(name)"
done

Or you could use mogrify -resize 128x128 *.jpg. The former is more flexible.

Great, thanks for the tip. Downloaded ImageMagick and it's working like a charm!
