I have an image that is 200x200 I want to trim the white space, and make it into an icon that is 32x32.
This line of code does not work, it will not make the canvas a uniform 32x32. I have tried taking it and adding -canvas 32x32 or -extend 32x32 but then the script does not work at all.

I am doing this from PHP with exec so I do not get an error back.

Have you tried +repage ?

I tested repage with both resize and thumbnail. In both cases the image canvas is coming out 9x32. Same was without repage. I read though the examples to come up with what I have now. Trim takes out all of the transparent space, but then the canvas does not reset to 32x32 with the resize.

If the white space is not trimmed evenly, then the image will not be square after the trim and your resize will not end up square. You can force it to be 32x32 exactly if you are willing to allow for some distortion from its actual aspect ratio by adding !. Depending upon your OS, you may need to escape the ! or put the argument into double quotes.

convert img.png -trim -resize 32x32! imgi.png

I tried that as well and it stretches the result to fit the size. I just want to have the same image but on a 32x32 canvas so all my thumbnails are 32x32.

Offering advice is far easier if we can see the image.

If the trimmed image isn't square, you must decide what you want to do: trim some of the image, or add some blank to make it square, or stretch the image.

you can fill it with transparency. Your trim is removing a lot of width so that is why it is 9x32.

convert image.png -trim +repage -resize 32x32 -gravity center -background none -extent 32x32 result.png

We want to add some transparency to make it square.

See my post just above yours. We must have posted at about the same time.

That appears to have worked perfectly. Thank you.

if you don't like the centering, you can change the gravity setting so that it might end up more aligned as it was originally

POST trim, If the icon is SMALLER than 32x32, I just want to extend and not resize, is there a way to tell it that

-resize and its geometry argument is very flexible. Try adding the shrink only flag

convert image.png -trim +repage -resize 32x32> -gravity center -background none -extent 32x32 result.png

That's exactly what I needed thank you very much.
