Is there any easy shortcut to resizing an image by percentage or fitting to a specific size?

Many a times, a website says "file needs to be no bigger than 2 MB", and I need to scramble with Preview app to resize teh app until it falls below that limit. A cli tool for that action would be very handy.

I typically use https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/workflow-re...

You can even do bulk cmds with cli on images:

  for x in ls *.webp; do  ffmpeg -i $x ${x%.webp}.png; done

reformats images from webp to png in a directory.

  magick mogrify -monitor -format jpg *.png -compress 70

reformats and compresses pngs to be jpg in a directory

You can use ImageMagick's `convert`.

  convert original.jpg -define jpeg:extent=2MB output.jpg

The result will be around 2MB in size (in both directions).
