mmscale

mmscale is a command-line utility designed for scaling images. It allows users to resize images to specific dimensions or by a percentage. The tool supports various image formats and can perform operations like scaling up or down, maintaining aspect ratio, and handling different interpolation methods. It is often used in batch processing of images or as part of a larger image manipulation workflow.

The primary function of mmscale is to adjust the pixel dimensions of an image. Users can specify an exact output width and height, or a percentage to scale the image relative to its original size. The tool aims to provide a straightforward way to manage image resolutions without requiring complex graphical software.

mmscale can be integrated into scripting environments for automated image resizing tasks. Its command-line interface makes it suitable for server-side processing or for users who prefer text-based control over their operations. The tool's simplicity and focus on a single core function, image scaling, contribute to its efficiency and ease of use for specific image manipulation needs.
