4 #Linux ‘Command-Line Graphics Tools’ Worth Considering
Opensource.com’s Scott Nesbitt compiled a list of graphics tools for Linux that operate via the command-line; for any type of batch processing or automated work these tools can rival if not excel beyond their GUI-based counterparts (I’m looking – heck we’re all looking – at you, GIMP!).

Images and the command line. They seem an unlikely pair, don’t they? There are people who’ll tell you that the only way you can manipulate and view graphics is with GUI applications like GIMP.

Let’s take a look at four command-line tools that can ably handle many of your basic (and not-so-basic) image manipulation tasks.
