Imagemagick: After centering image, move it left by 50px - image-processing

I am currently centering an image on a white background like below:
... -gravity center -background white -extent 400x400 ...
I find that after centering, I need to move the image (~250x250, can vary slightly) to the left of the center by 50px. How can I achieve this?
I tried using -geometry after -gravity center but that doesn't work.

Try
convert ... -gravity center -background white -extent 400x400+50+0 ...
Where the ImageMagick documentation talks about "geometry" in this context, it's talking about the "geometry string" associated with the "-extent" option, not about a "-geometry" option.

imagemagick trim but keep canvas size and *position*

Friends,
I need to -trim some images but keep the original canvas size. Works like this:
convert in.png -fuzz 10% -trim -background white -set page "%[fx:w]x%[fx:h]" +repage out.png
But how can I position the trimmed image part at it's original position? -gravitiy center is not an option as the to-be-trimmed part usually not at the canvas center.
Any ideas?
You should be able to -trim an image, then use -flatten to lay it back onto its original canvas. Try this command...
convert logo: -background none -trim -flatten trimmed.png
#GeeMack's answer is certainly simpler and more succinct, but if you need more flexibility for dinking around, another way is to get the image height and width and the trimbox in one invocation and use them in the next - maybe with adaptation.
So, starting with this image:
# Get image width and height and the trim-box
read geom trim < <(magick start.png -format "%G %#" info:)
# Make a new white canvas same size as original and trim new image onto it
magick -size $geom xc:white \( start.png -crop $trim \) -flatten result.png
I put an artificial yellow border around it so you can see the extent of it on SO's white background.

Convert image from 4500x5400 to 4050x4200 keeping aspect ratio

I have an image of 4500x5400, I want to resize it for the height 4200 keeping the width ratio, however the width of the image needs to be 4050, leaving the sides transparent.
I have this ImageMagick command:
convert file.png -resize 4500x5400 -gravity center -background transparent -extent 4050x4200 out.png
However it's cutting the top and the bottom, while it needs to appear.
Do you guys have any idea of how I can make it work?
Appreciate your time!
Try this...
convert input.png -resize 4050x4200 -background none -gravity center -extent 4050x4200 output.png
The "-resize" fits your input image within a container of that size. The "-extent" makes sure the total canvas is that size. The "-background" and "-gravity" make sure extra space is filled with transparent and that the input image is located in the center of the output canvas.

Generating small text with Imagemagick is blurry

I'm trying to generate an image using Imagemagick to match a preview in the browser, but the text comes out blurry. Does anybody have any suggestions? Attached is an image with the Imagemagick one on top, and browser one on bottom, along with the IM code.
convert -density 288 -resize 25% -background white -fill black -strokewidth 0 -stroke white -font Rubik-Regular.ttf -pointsize 10 -gravity center label:'This is a TEST!' label_arial.gif
You might find it easier to start with caption which automatically sizes the text the best way to fill a given area. So, as your lettering is around 140x36 pixels, you would do:
convert -size 140x36 -gravity center caption:'This is a TEST!' label.gif

Shifting centered images / delete left border and retain size

I have about 400 images that are the same size, but the actual image content is centered against a white border. This looks odd when I display some of them in a list because the left hand border size varies against the image content.
I'd like to basically remove the left hand border but keep the image size, and fill the right hand side with white. Thanks
I would add a white border to your whole image and use -trim which will remove the border and the white L/H border. Then use an -extent with a -gravity west and a -background white to add the border to the RH side.
Something like:
convert input.jpg -bordercolor White -border 2x2 -trim +repage -background white -gravity west -extent 500x800 output.png
Where 500x800 is the final size of your image.

Use ImageMagick to place an image inside a larger canvas

Getting started with ImageMagic and trying to find a way to do this... If an image is less than 50 pixels tall or 50 pixels wide, I'd like to place it (un-scaled) in the horizontal/vertical center of a new 50x50 pixel canvas on top of a white background - and save that as the new image. Anyone know if this is possible with ImageMagick? Thanks!
I used -extent to do this:
convert input.jpg -gravity center -background white -extent 50x50 output.jpg
I wanted to do the same, except shrink the image to 70% inside. I used this:
convert input.png -resize 70%x70% -gravity center -background transparent -extent 72x72 output.png
Not exactly what was requested but hopefully it will help someone ;).
I have once used this code to place an image in the center of a new canvas with white background. hope this will help you
convert -background white -gravity center your_image.jpg -extent 50x50 new_image.jpg
See cutting and bordering for a huge number of examples. Here's one simple way you might do it:
convert input.png -bordercolor Black -border 5x5 output.png
Of course, you'll need to calculate the size of the border to add (if any) based on the dimensions of the input image. Are you using an ImageMagick API, or just the command line tools?
I tried this:
convert test.jpg -resize 100x100 -background black -gravity center -extent 100x100 output.png
You can use single composition to do this. So it would look something like this:
convert -size 50x50 xc:white null: ( my_image.png -coalesce ) -gravity Center -layers Composite -layers Optimize output.png
To modify the source image you need to use mogrify:
mogrify -gravity center -background white -extent 50x50 source.jpg
If an image is less than 50 pixels tall or 50 pixels wide
In my case, the images were much larger than the destination canvas, and weren't square. So I resize them proportionally to fit inside. Example:
convert in.png -resize 46x46 -background none -gravity center -extent 50x50 out.png
The 46x46 limit ensures a 2 pixel margin minimum. Note that the above does not distort the image, e.g. a rectangle does not become a square.
I used background none for a transparent background, but you can choose a solid color instead.
