It is needed to pad images for the blog, so installed it via the ‘choco’ package manager for Windows.

I had a chance to use the ‘imagemagick’ utility today, it has been some time. I downloaded an image and wanted to pad it on both the.sides in order to use it on my blog.

First, I needed to check its width in order to see if it has been changed, after the padding operation.

Then, I issued the command to pad the image on both the sides.

Finally, I checked the image width again.
