montage - Man Page

• Tile images into a grid, automatically resizing images larger than the grid cell size: montage path/to/image1.jpg path/to/image2.jpg ... path/to/montage.jpg
• Tile images into a grid, automatically calculating the grid cell size from the largest image: montage path/to/image1.jpg path/to/image2.jpg ... -geometry +0+0 path/to/montage.jpg
• Specify the grid cell size and resize images to fit it before tiling: montage path/to/image1.jpg path/to/image2.jpg ... -geometry 640x480+0+0 path/to/montage.jpg
• Limit the number of rows and columns in the grid, causing input images to overflow into multiple output montages: montage path/to/image1.jpg path/to/image2.jpg ... -geometry +0+0 -tile 2x3 montage_%d.jpg
• Resize and crop images to fill their grid cells before tiling: montage path/to/image1.jpg path/to/image2.jpg ... -geometry +0+0 -resize 640x480^ -gravity center -crop 640x480+0+0 path/to/montage.jpg

magick montage input-file[s] [options] output-file

The montage program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools.  Use it to create a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image optionally adorned with a border, frame, image name, and more.

For more information about the montage command, point your browser to file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-7/www/montage.html or https://imagemagick.org/script/montage.php.

By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number.  To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
