I would like to resize groups of photos in batch.


I see this tutorial for "Batch Mode" on GIMP.org, but it looks seriously confusing and complicated. I see a few references here on Askubuntu to something called ImageMagick, however, when I went to install it I saw 276 ratings culminating in a one-star review. I started getting depressed reading the reviews.


Please advise.

This worked for me:



  1. Put the images I wanted resized into a folder.

  2. Opened the folder into a terminal window.

  3. Installed GraphicsMagick (an active fork of ImageMagick) using sudo apt install graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat

  4. gm mogrify -geometry 600^x600^ *.png


The gm command shown above worked very quickly to resize all the png images in the directory. The ^ symbol ensures that the image aspect ratio is maintained when the image is resized, but the resulting width or height are treated as minimum values rather than maximum values.
