Image resizing is one of the most common image editing tasks, it can drastically reduce image size from MB to KB, allowing images to be loaded onto the web quickly even if someone has a slow internet connection. I usually do this from the command line using the ImageMagick tool, but now I recommend the “Nautilus Image Converter”, which is integrated in the right-click context menu of image files and is also very easy to use.

There are many Nautilus plugins that enhance its functionality, they are not installed by default, but you can choose to install them if you want.

Run the following command to see if your Linux system uses the Nautilus file manager:
$ nautilus –version
GNOME nautilus 3.36.3
If you have the Nautilus file manager on your system, you will get the same results as above, but the version may be different.
Make sure you have ImageMagick installed on your system as this plugin uses ImageMagick for image processing. If not, you need to install it, refer to the installation and use of ImageMagick under Linux system .
Please note: Please make sure that “Development Tools” is installed on your Linux system, as a prerequisite for this operation, refer to Install GCC and Development Tools on RHEL 8/CentOS 8 .
For RHEL, CentOS 6/7 systems, use the yum command to install ImageMagick:
$ sudo yum install …
