ImageMagick: Legacy | Command-line Tools: Montage (original) (raw)
Use the montage program to create a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled on the composite image optionally adorned with a border, frame, image name, and more. See Command Line Processing for advice on how to structure your montage command or see below for example usages of the command.
We list a few examples of the montage command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, let's montage two images into a single composite:
The montage command recognizes these options. Click on an option to get more details about how that option works.
