Create Photo Collage in Linux

Published on August 13, 2011, by + in linux.




With ImageMagick you can create a photo collage from the command line in Linux. I’ll show you how!




First, make sure you have ImageMagick installed:

$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Next, to simply slap photos together into a grid style collage, use:

$ montage *.jpg collage.jpg

The end result will look something like this:

There are tons of options for montage. See this page for an incredible amount of detail.


I like to take family photos and use this command to make a collage:

$ montage *.jpg -border 2x2 -background black +polaroid -resize 75% -geometry -60-60 -tile x6 final.jpg

The end result looks like this:

Cool!
