Resizing image without stretching it, possible?

[john86b]

This wonderful little software saved me about ten thousand hours of work, but now I need something I do not know whether it's possible.
I have these 40x40 png icons, but the elements inside it fit a 32x32 size PERFECTLY, how can I resize all my png icons and centralize the object?

Thanks!

Actually, I was thinking about it, this isn't a matter of resizing, it's more a matter of cropping out the left over space... from 40x40 to 32x32

can you post a link to an example icon and explain what the issue is. the command -resize will resize proportionally if that is what you mean (that is keeping the aspect ratio).

Is the 32x32 always centered in the 40x40?

convert icon -gravity center -crop 32x32+0+0 +repage smallicon
