A Batch Script To Resize Images
I'm looking for some help in writing a batch script to resize a bunch of .jpg images.
I don't have much experience with batch scripts. But this task will be preformed on a windows machine & so I thought a batch script might be a good way to go.
I'm always interested in hearing alternative ideas & approaches, or being made aware of elements I haven't thought of.
Below I have listed the basic steps/needs of the script:
1) The images are located in a folder & are all(or should be) 500 x
500.
2) I need copy & past the images to a new folder, where they will be
resized to 250 x 250.
3) I then need to repeat step 2 but this time resize to 125 x 125.

Once you install ImageMagick for Windows, you can use magick command-line tool, e.g.
magick.exe mogrify -resize 250x250 -path 250x250/ *.png *.jpg
magick.exe mogrify -resize 125x125 -path 125x125/ *.png *.jpg
Note: Make sure your magick.exe command is in your PATH system variable and you're pointing to the existing or created the destined folders (e.g. mkdir 250x250/ 125x125/ in above case).
