I need to crop a number of images in jpeg
format by 20 pixels on the right side losslessly on Linux.
I checked jpegtran
, but it needs the file size in pixels before cropping, and I don't know how to build a batch file with that.
How can I losslessly crop 20 pixels from the right side of images programmatically?
My shell scripting is a little rusty so please make a backup of your images before trying this script.
#!/bin/bash
FILES=/path/to/*.jpg
for f in $FILES
do
identify $f | awk '{ split($3, f, "x"); f[1] -= 20; cl = sprintf("jpegtran -crop %dx%d+0+0 %s > new_%s", f[1], f[2], $1, $1); system(cl); }'
done
Points to note:
identify
is an ImageMagick commandawk
will grab the pixel dimensions from identify
to use as a parameter (with the width reduced by 20px) for jpegtran
to crop the imagenew_[old_name].jpg
jpegtran
might adjust the cropping region so that it can perform losslessly. Check that the resulting images are the correct size and not slightly larger.
