As far as I am aware, the -resize command only support natural number or percentage.
I want to resize an image into one-third of its current size. How to achieve this in ImageMagick?

Thanks

How about 33.33333%?

In IM 7 (Unix),

This is my current workaround. But sometimes I feel that I can work faster if I can use fraction directly without need to converting into percentage.
Eg: Sometimes it will get faster if I can set 4/16 instead of 25% or converting it to simplest fraction 1/4.

magick -precision 15 image -resize "%[fx:100/3]\%" result

Currently I am using Windows 10 with ImageMagick 7.
Is "%[fx:100/3]\%" a built in math in Unix shell or feature from ImageMagick? If it is a feature of Unix shell, is there any Windows equivalent to get similar result?

Many thanks to all of you.

That is a feature of IM v7. For Windows, don't escape the percentage with a backslash.

It is built into IM 7. See

I created a .bat script in Windows with the following command:
But resulting the following error:
magick.exe: MissingArgument `-resize' at CLI arg 4 @ fatal/magick-cli.c/ProcessCommandOptions/444

What am I doing wrong?

In Windows BAT, you need to double the % signs: "%%[fx:100/3]%%"

It solved.

Thank you very much for your help.
