    Could you explain why I got multiple rows when I run identify imagename.ico? Like todour.ico[0] ICO 32x32 32x32+0+0 4-bit sRGB 0.000u 0:00.000 todour.ico[1] ICO 16x16 16x16+0+0 4-bit sRGB 0.000u 0:00.000 todour.ico[2] ICO 48x48 48x48+0+0 8-bit sRGB 0.000u 0:00.000 Commented Feb 26, 2019 at 8:58

    @roachsinai, identify does this for images with multiple resolutions and for animations. Your icon file contained 16x16, 32x32, & 48x48 sizes. Animations may also show placement offsets and durations, like a.gif[0] GIF 163x130 163x130+0+0 8-bit sRGB 65c 0.000u 0:00.000 a.gif[1] GIF 132x125 163x130+20+3 8-bit sRGB 65c 0.000u 0:00.000 Commented Dec 10, 2019 at 20:30
  • If speed is of concern (or large image/s) I'd recommend using GraphicsMagick, a fork of ImageMagick, but so much faster and lower CPU usage. See Jerry Epas answer way down. unix.stackexchange.com/a/176972/43139 Commented Feb 21, 2022 at 3:00
