App::ImageMagickUtils - Utilities related to ImageMagick
This document describes version 0.009 of App::ImageMagickUtils (from Perl distribution App-ImageMagickUtils), released on 2022-01-16.
This distribution includes the following CLI utilities related to ImageMagick:
calc-image-resized-size
convert-image-to
convert-image-to-pdf
downsize-image
image-resize-notation-to-human
img2pdf
Usage:
convert_image_to(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Convert images using ImageMagick's 'convert' utility, with multiple file support and automatic output naming.
This is a simple wrapper to ImageMagick's convert utility to let you process multiple files using a single command:
convert
% convert-image-to --to pdf *.jpg
is basically equivalent to:
% for f in *.jpg; do convert "$f" "$f.pdf"; done
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
delete_original => bool
files* => array[filename]
to* => str
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
Return value: (any)
convert_image_to_pdf(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Convert images to PDF using ImageMagick's 'convert' utility.
This is a wrapper to convert-image-to, with --to set to pdf:
--to
pdf
% convert-image-to-pdf *.jpg
is equivalent to:
which in turn is equivalent to:
downsize_image(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Reduce image size, by default via compressing to JPEG quality 40 and downsizing to 1024p.
This utility uses convert utility to compress an image into JPEG with default quality of 40 and downsized to 1024p (shortest side to 1024px).
Output filenames are:
ORIGINAL_NAME.q40.jpg
or (if downsizing is done):
ORIGINAL_NAME.1024p-q40.jgp
This function supports dry-run operation.
downsize_to => str (default: 1024)
Downsizing will only be done if the input image's shortest side is indeed larger then the target downsize.
To disable downsizing, set --downsize-to to '' (empty string), or specify on --dont-downsize on the CLI.
--downsize-to
--dont-downsize
q => int (default: 40)
Special arguments:
-dry_run => bool
Pass -dry_run=>1 to enable simulation mode.

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
