Once the package is installed we can run man convert to take a look at the variety of operations supports by the command.

Debian/Ubuntu users can install ImageMagick by running: sudo apt install imagemagick

The convert command comes under the ImageMagick package. Using the convert Command to Reduce File Size of Images in Linuxīefore we move onto the application of this command, let us make sure it is present in the system. Let us quickly delve into the processes of reducing image file size. There is a constant need of reducing the file size of such large images, therefore, we bring you an article which deals with the said task. With the increase in the focus on the quality of images, the image file sizes have been increasing tremendously. You will get a versatile image with great quality, that you can send to anyone without taking too much time.In this article, we talk about the different ways to reduce the file size of images in Linux. If you have a huge photo, we recommend resizing it to about 1900 by 1100 pixels, with JPG format and 90% quality. So if you resize your image, decreasing its width and height to a half, your image would have about the same number of pixels as the screens that will display it, and you wouldn't be losing any quality or detail, even looking at your image in full screen mode. Photos from modern cellphones and cameras usually have over 6 million pixels, while most cellphones, tablets, notebook or TV screens have only about 1.5 million pixels, which means you end up seeing a resized version of the image (you only use the full image if you print it). Reducing image size doesn't reduce image quality, although it may lose small details. Image quality will suffer as you increase compression and start losing more data.Īnother method is to resize your photo, decreasing the pixels it takes to store the image.

One way is compressing the image, which reduces file size without having to resize it.
