If you want better fidelity in the conversion, you can get a slight improvement without an increase in filesize by specifying -define jpeg:dct-method=float - that is, use the more accurate floating point discrete cosine transform, rather than the default fast integer version. What this does is reduce the chroma channel's resolution to half, without messing with the luminance resolution that your eyes latch onto.

If you dislike blurring, use -sampling-factor 4:2:0 instead. Or in the newer version: magick source.jpg -strip -interlace Plane -gaussian-blur 0.05 -quality 85% result.jpgįrom in the comments (Don't forget to upvote him if you like this): In imagemagick should be convert -strip -interlace Plane -gaussian-blur 0.05 -quality 85% source.jpg result.jpg a very tiny gausssian blur to optimize the size (0.05 or 0.5 of radius) depends on the quality and size of the picture, this notably optimizes the size of the jpeg.It will also report if an image is incomplete or corrupt. identify describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files. The transmogrified image overwrites the original image. These transforms include image scaling, image rotation, color reduction, and others.

And use the most recent version 8.71 (soon to be released: 9.00) of Ghostscript. mogrify transforms an image or a sequence of images. That's why I'd suggested you convert your PDFs in one go to PNG (or JPEG) using Ghostscript directly. (Conversion in the opposite direction, PS => PDF, therefor is not that critical.)

PDF can embed TrueType fonts, which PostScript can not.

PDF can handle transparencies, which PostScript can not.

pdfjam offers other options, which may fit your needs. pdfjam -paper a4paper -outfile myoutA4.pdf myout.pdf. but use pdfjam instead of ImageMagick to adjust the page size. Because you never win and harldy keep quality in the first step, but very often loose some. You can convert to pdf using ImageMagick.

The detour of IM to call Ghostscript twice to convert first PDF => PS and then PS => PNG is a real blunder.

That's why sometimes people here suggest to add -density 600 as a convert parameter which tells Ghostscript to use a 600 dpi resolution for its image output.

By default, if you don't give an extra parameter, Ghostscript will output images with a 72dpi resolution.

Works, but isn't the most efficient way if you know that Ghostscript can do PDF => PNG in one go.

So how does IM get (E)PS from your PDF? Easy: convert -list delegate | findstr /i PDFĪh! It uses Ghostscript to make a PDF => PS conversion, then uses Ghostscript again to make a PS => PNG conversion. You'll discover that IM does produce PNG only from PS or EPS input. If you are on Windows, try this: convert -list delegate | findstr /i png (On my system that's a list of 32 different commands.) Now to see which commands are used to convert to PNG, use this: convert -list delegate | grep -i png You can learn about the detailed settings ImageMagick's "delegates" (the external programs ImageMagick uses, such as Ghostscript) by typing convert -list delegate

it then uses Ghostscript for PostScript => PNG conversion.

it first uses Ghostscript for PDF => PostScript conversion.

It does not convert PDF => PNG in one go, but uses 2 different steps: BTW, one of the reasons ImageMagick is so much slower is that it calls Ghostscript twice.
