mogrify(1) General Commands Manual mogrify(1)
NAME
mogrify - resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on,
flip, join, re-sample, and much more. Mogrify overwrites the original
image file, whereas, convert(1) writes to a different image file.
SYNOPSIS
mogrify [options] input-file
OVERVIEW
The mogrify program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools.
Use it to resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on,
flip, join, re-sample, and much more. This tool is similar to
convert(1) except the original image file is overwritten with any
changes you request.

By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic
number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename
with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the
image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as
'-' for standard input or output.
