Thumbnails with ImageMagick

September 21, 2007

My command for making thumbnails with ImageMagick (should be a single line):

convert original.png -thumbnail ‘160×160>’ thumbnail.png

Just so I don’t have to wade through the tutorial every time I need to do it.

Note: those are single quotes: WordPress seems to switching them to some sort of fancy quotes that don’t work if you cut and paste.

Update: not only is WordPress screwing with the quotes, but it is making the x into a non-x multiplication sign.
