How to resize an image in Linux with convert from ImageMagick.

Use the command convert.

If you get command not found opt to install the package if it shows Install package 'ImageMagick' to provide command 'convert' or using sudo apt install imagemagick.

I use convert to resize a screenshot of a burndown chart from Jira to fit the dimensions of the Linkedin profile header.

Use the exclamation point to fix the width and height, otherwise it will autoscale the height.
