I need to reduce the density of a bunch of jpg photos used for a Web site. (Host is complaining that I am already over the limit and I've only just started!).

man ImageMagick, particularly convert.

ImageMagick gets it done elegantly!

mogrify -scale %50 filename.jpg

WARNING! One does need to stash an original of the files to be shrunk, or make a copy of them in a new folder especially for shrinkage, as the default for mogrify is to overwrite the original.

Not if used as the man pages suggests: convert [ options ... ] input_file output_file

Hmmm, OK will also try that command w/options and instructions. From the man it seems that the evolution of ImageMagick has led to some redundancy wherein there are multiple ways to get the same result, with some internal variables. Since I have never used it before I will now attempt your recommended method! :-) -- Thanks! doc West Central Florida Linux-Incompatible hardware is defective! USA Pres.
