Make a photo collage without hassle

... with ImageMagick!

So just today, the higher ups want a detailed monthly report, complete with photographic evidence.

Thanks to the CCTV system that my team has installed before, collecting photo evidence is easy.

But the next problem is how to print it neatly.

And no, I really, really don't want to arrange it manually on Microsoft Word.

Here’s the reason why :

So, instead of experiencing that pain firsthand, download Imagemagick, install it.

Then, open your target photo directory, shift + right click, open command window here.

Then, run this command

magick montage \*.jpg -geometry "600x270!+0+0" -tile 2x3 result.png

• 600x270 is the dimension of each photo

• \*.jpg means "all the .jpg files that included in this directory"

• -tile 2x3 means, 2x3 tile photo collage

• Well, you can customize this command according your own very need.

And it’s done..

Copy it to Word, and it’s done.

Save time by adding the -monitor option for easy debugging if things go south.

The result :

I'm trying different dimension configurations to make it even more compact (827x877; 3x4), but it's taking forever to progress, so I have to switch back to the original configuration.
