Batch resize images to fit a certain ratio & min-width

Bash script to resize images to a particular ratio, with a blurred background where the image is not in the same ratio.

By default this converts to 3x2 ratio, with a min-width ot 700 px.

Run on a single file with:

./go.sh <filename>

Run recursively finding all .jpgs in a folder with:

./go_in_folder.sh <folder>

Examples

Squareish image

The original source image is resized to fit inside the 3x2 frame

Wide source image

Both wide and tall images are supported by this script

Tiny source images

Tiny source images will be scaled up 150% so they're legible on mobile, but remain centered in the overall image.

Background blur example

The background blur effect means the colour and theme is continued throughout the image
