Bulk resize images and keeping original files
Linux
Suppose you have a directory (with subdirectories) full of images, and you want to resize them all while keeping the original images. To do so, first create a copy of the directory tree without the image files. Then, using a for loop, find each image file and apply the convert
command to it. The following is an example to resize jpg
files to 40% of the original quality.
mkdir /path/to/mirror_dir
find /path/to/image_dir -type d -exec mkdir -p /path/to/mirror_dir/{} \;
cd /path/to/image_dir
for i in $(find -iname "*.jpg"); do echo $i; convert -resize 40% $i /path/to/mirror_dir/$i; done
