I'm using imagepipe from fdroid, into webp format, keeping aspect ratio. Most of my posts don't need high res imagery anyway, just something to get the message across. What do you use?

Generally just run convert from the Imagemagick bunch of tools.

Any special commands? I'm a noob to imagemagick and just wanted some tried and tested solution.

My goto is:

convert -resize 50% in.png out.png

It reduces half the width and height, so usually ~4x in size.
