Merge Images Side by Side(Horizontally)

Solution 1:

ImageMagick ships with the montage utility. Montage will append each image side-by-side allowing you to adjust spacing between each image (-geometry), and the general layout (-tile).

montage [0-4].png -tile 5x1 -geometry +0+0 out.png

Other examples can be found on Montage Usage page

Solution 2:

ImageMagick has command line tool named 'convert' to merge images horizontally, or for other purpose. i have tried this command and working perfectly on your case:
To join images horizontally:
convert +append *.png out.png

To stack images vertically:
convert -append *.png out.png

Solution 3:

Use -resize if the images don't have the same width/height

You can fix the height for all of them with the -resize option, e.g. to fix a 500 pixel height on two images joined horizontally:

convert +append image_1.png image_2.png -resize x500 new_image_conbined.png

Or for vertical joins, you would want to set a fixed width instead:

convert -append image_1.png image_2.png -resize 500x new_image_conbined.png

Example:

image_1.png 1067x600

image_2.png 1920x1080

new_image_conbined.png 889x500
