Use ffmpeg to resize image

Question

Is it possible to resize an image using FFMPEG?

I have this so far:

ffmpeg. -i 1.jpg -vf scale=360:240 > 2.jpg

I get the error messa

Answer 1

It is also possible to resize an image to fit inside some dimensions and letterbox the rest.

Example command:

ffmpeg -i IN.png -vf "scale=1280:720:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1280:720:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" OUT.jpg
