automate process of pictures saved in folder are automatically reduced in resolution and saved in a different folder.

Business needs to take pictures and add them to a database. Need to resize and reduce quality to save disk space. Want this to happen automaticly.

Going to use an Android tablet.

User takes picture that is set to save in a folder that is synced with google drive.

The lowest resolution on Tablet is 2048x1152 produces about a 1 MB jpeg.

I now want to reduce resolution to a Monitor View quality and reduced file size no printing needed. Get the picture size as small as possible to take up less disk space.

So I have a PC that periodically checks for any pictures showing up on drive and in specific folder using a script and schedule task.

If it finds pictures I wish to have it redo the resolution and then save the new picture in a different folder. Then I have not decided if to delete original or move it to another folder local to PC that will be set to retain images for 7 days and then delete. I can handle that script/task.

Can ImageMagick do this?

Imagemagick can resize or change quality of images of images in one folder and put them to another folder. It can get the file size and you can write a script to decide if you want to resize or not.
