hi guys,

does anyone know good way how to resize jpg pictures and preserve EXIF at the same time, preferably using graphics/imagemagick? it seems that graphicsmagick removes the EXIF information, but maybe there is some option i missed :(


thanks in advance for any hints. regards,


I don't resize many pics but for those that I do, I use imagemagick's convert command. It does preserve the EXIF information during the transformation. I use the following command to resize an image for a maximum side of 800px.

$> convert -resize 800x800 image.jpg small-image.jpg

To resize multiple images you can always cook up a script. Other applications which I use for exif manipulations are jhead and exiv2.
