A few days ago i reactivated my blog and decided to switch from Wordpress to Jekyll . After I had solved most problems regarding the migration, I had to think about my new publishing process and the major issue I had to face was the preparation of my images. Wordpress scaled my images and reduced the image quality for me, now I have to do this on my own.
To do this, I have written a small script that checks the width and height of a given image and scales it down and reduces its quality. This script internally uses two commands of the ImageMagick software suite, the identify and convert command. While identify allows me to collect all important information about a given image, convert enables me to convert the image to another image format, scale the image and reduce the image quality.
