I have a large number of images that can be any dimension that I need make into the same aspect ratio (basically square). So if one image is 100x300 the output should be 300x300. What I don't want is the image scaled or stretched in any way. I just want a background color (white) applied to the sides of the image, then the original image centered (either vertically or horizontally depending on the original aspect ratio).
I've played around with a couple different convert commands, but I have not found the magic one yet - they all either distort the image to reach the aspect ratio, or scale the image to the correct larger dimension, but do not have the aspect ratio I was looking for.
Thanks in advance

To resize an image to specific dimensions, use the convert command with an input file, the -resize parameter, your preferred dimensions, and an output filename: convert original. png -resize 100x100 new. png.
Yes it is purely an alias for xc: which stood for "X window color", which came from the extreme early days of ImageMagick (long before my time).
