# Image Resizing on Mac with ImageMagick via Homebrew
|
|
|
|
This guide provides steps to install ImageMagick using Homebrew and resize an image on a Mac.
|
|
|
|
## Installing ImageMagick
|
|
|
|
1. **Open Terminal:** You can find Terminal in Applications under Utilities or use Spotlight to search for it.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Resizing an Image
|
|
|
|
1. **Navigate to Image Folder:** Change the directory to where your image is located.
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /path/to/your/image/directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
convert original.jpg -resize 600x resized.jpg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create a new resized image named `resized.jpg` in the same directory.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- 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.
