montage
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.
TLDR
Tile images into a grid, automatically resizing images larger than the grid cell size
Tile images into a grid, automatically calculating the grid cell size from the largest image
Set the grid cell size and resize images to fit it before tiling
Limit the number of rows and columns in the grid, causing input images to overflow into multiple output montages
Resize and crop images to fill their grid cells before tiling
SYNOPSIS
- montage input-file[s] [options] output-file
OVERVIEW
The montage program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools. Use it 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.

Image Operators: -adaptive-sharpen geometry adaptively sharpen pixels; increase effect near edges -annotate geometry text annotate the image with text -auto-orient automagically orient image -blur geometry reduce image noise and reduce detail levels -border geometry surround image with a border of color -channel mask set the image channel mask -crop geometry preferred size and location of the cropped image -distort method args distort images according to given method and args -draw string annotate the image with a graphic primitive -extent geometry set the image size -flatten flatten a sequence of images -flip flip image in the vertical direction -flop flop image in the horizontal direction -frame geometry surround image with an ornamental border -layers method optimize or compare image layers -monochrome transform image to black and white -polaroid angle simulate a Polaroid picture -resize geometry resize the image -rotate degrees apply Paeth rotation to the image -scale geometry scale the image -strip strip image of all profiles and comments -transform affine transform image -transpose flip image vertically and rotate 90 degrees -transparent color make this color transparent within the image -type type image type -unsharp geometry sharpen the image
Image Sequence Operators: -coalesce merge a sequence of images -composite composite image
Image Stack Operators: -clone indexes clone an image -delete indexes delete the image from the image sequence -duplicate count,indexes duplicate an image one or more times -insert index insert last image into the image sequence -reverse reverse image sequence -swap indexes swap two images in the image sequence
Miscellaneous Options: -debug events display copious debugging information -help print program options -log format format of debugging information -list type print a list of supported option arguments -version print version information
In addition to those listed above, you can specify these standard X resources as command line options: -background, -bordercolor, -borderwidth, -font, -mattecolor, or -title.
By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
