Does anybody know a right mouse click save and reduce a screen saver image to a smaller file, say 50KB?
My usual method is slow, place in image program and re-save it smaller.

I used to have a Window’s way to reduce file images from 1MB to 50 KB with right mouse click.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net No right click thing, but in the terminal:

convert -strip -quality 70 -resize 300x original.jpg resized.jpg

“original.jpg” being the filename of the input file and “resized.jpg” the filename of the output. You can play around with the width, “300x” means 300 pixels wide and the height is determined automatically to still remain in the same ratio. The quality is how much to compress it. The closer to 0 the value gets, the worse the result, but also smaller in file size. More towards 100 and the quality improves together with a larger file size.

You have to install the package “imagemagick” for this to work, I believe.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and by „install[ing] the package “imagemagick”“ you mean installing a multi-GiB set of tools and libraries. :-D

I hope not, @bender@twtxt.net! I haven’t checked, but I’d reckon it to be at most a single digit MiB number. How wrong am I?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it depends if you already have the needed libraries, and auxiliary packages installed. If you do, then a few hundred MiB, for sure.
