$ convert original.jpg -resize 50% test.jpg

$ exiftool test.jpg 
...
Exif Image Width                : 1200
Exif Image Height               : 1600
Image Width                     : 600
Image Height                    : 800
Image Size                      : 600x800

The size of original.jpg is 1200 x 1600.

After resizing the image by half, why are the Exif Image Width and Exif Image Height not the same as Image Width and Image Height?

Thanks.

The Convert command doesn't modify the metadata. The Exif tags still hold the info from the previous image. You could fix that using this ExifTool command:

exiftool "-ExifImageHeight<ImageHeight" "-ExifImageWidth<ImageWidth" test.jpg

If you're not using windows, change double quotes to single quotes.

  • These quotes work on Unix et al, as well. – Gringo Suave Mar 15 '22 at 02:08

    In this case, yes. But it's a good idea to be in the habit of using single quotes with exiftool on Mac/Linux/Powershell as many exiftool commands include a dollar sign, which would be interpreted as a shell variable with double quotes. This was a copy/paste which I add to most of my exiftool answers. – StarGeek Mar 15 '22 at 16:38
