#Debian #gnome #ImageEditor I really want a simple image crop and resize tool that works with the clipboard. So often I see an image online that I'd like to forward but it is ridiculous in some way (a 2000x1000 PNG of 10 words of text with a dappled background, say. All 1MB of it).

Firing up GIMP is slow and complex. Pinta is better but painful to install, does not like large files (20MP+ camera photos) and crashes a lot, while gThumb only works on files.

Is there a better program?

Can be done by installing `imagemagick` and `wl-clipboard` and using script below. `-resize` parameter and output file format can of course be set to whatever is preferred. This is for Ubuntu.

#!/usr/bin/sh
convert -resize 20% $1 $1.webp
wl-copy < $1.webp

Script may be integrated into some clipboard manager too.
