-# Image Resizing on Mac with ImageMagick via Homebrew
+# Reducing Image File Size on Mac with ImageMagick
 
-This guide provides steps to install ImageMagick using Homebrew and resize an image on a Mac.
+This guide provides instructions on how to use ImageMagick to reduce the file size of an image on a Mac, aiming for a target file size of 2MB or less.
 
-## Installing ImageMagick
+## Prerequisites
 
-1. **Open Terminal:** You can find Terminal in Applications under Utilities or use Spotlight to search for it.
+Ensure that ImageMagick is installed on your Mac. If not, follow the installation guide below:
 
-2. **Install Homebrew:** If you don't have Homebrew installed, execute the following command in Terminal:
-   ```bash
-   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
-   ```
-3. **Install ImageMagick:** Once Homebrew is installed, run this command to install ImageMagick:
-   ```bash
-   brew install imagemagick
-   ```
+1. **Open Terminal:**
+   - Terminal can be found in Applications under Utilities or accessed using Spotlight.
 
-## Resizing an Image
+2. **Install Homebrew:** (Skip if already installed)
+   - Run the following command in Terminal to install Homebrew:
+     ```bash
+     /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
+     ```
 
-1. **Navigate to Image Folder:** Change the directory to where your image is located.
-   ```bash
-   cd /path/to/your/image/directory
-   ```
+3. **Install ImageMagick:**
+   - With Homebrew installed, execute this command to install ImageMagick:
+     ```bash
+     brew install imagemagick
+     ```
 
-2. **Resize the Image:** Use the `convert` command from ImageMagick to resize the image. For example, to resize an image named `original.jpg` to a width of 600 pixels while keeping the aspect ratio, use:
+## Reducing Image File Size
 
-```bash
-convert original.jpg -resize 600x resized.jpg
-```
-   
-This will create a new resized image named `resized.jpg` in the same directory.
+1. **Navigate to Image Folder:**
+   - Change to the directory where your image is stored.
+     ```bash
+     cd /path/to/your/image/directory
+     ```
 
-## Notes
+2. **Reduce Image File Size:**
+   - **Option 1: Adjust Quality**
+     - Lower the quality to reduce file size. Start with a value like 85 and adjust if necessary.
+       ```bash
+       convert original.jpg -quality 85 compressed.jpg
+       ```
+   - **Option 2: Resize Image**
+     - If the image dimensions are large, resizing can help reduce file size.
+       ```bash
+       convert original.jpg -resize 50% compressed.jpg
+       ```
+   - Replace `original.jpg` with your image's filename and `compressed.jpg` with your desired new filename.
 
-- The `600x` in the resize command specifies the width in pixels. The height will be adjusted automatically to maintain the aspect ratio.
-- If you want to overwrite the original image, use the same name for the output file.
-- For more advanced options, refer to the ImageMagick documentation or use `man convert` in Terminal to see the manual.
+3. **Verify File Size:**
+   - Check the size of `compressed.jpg`. If it's over 2MB, adjust the quality or resize percentage and repeat the process.
 
-This guide should help you install ImageMagick using Homebrew and resize images easily on your Mac.

+4. **Replace Original Image (Optional):**
+   - To replace the original image, use the same name for the output file in the command.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+By adjusting the quality or resizing the image, you can effectively reduce its file size to meet specific requirements, such as a maximum of 2MB, using ImageMagick on a Mac.
