I want to display an image and have the pixels big and clearly visible. As it's common to display scaled image with some form of smooth filtering, the best option is to scale up the image resolution without interpolation (i.e. nearest). I have quite a few and need automation, hence ImageMagick.

I'm certain I've done this before and hit the same problem, but this time Google isn't helping. I vaguely remember the order of the arguments can be quite important here but I've tried every permutation and the output is the same.

The following simply doesn't work. It resizes the image correctly but it's all blurry:

convert from.png -interpolate Nearest -resize 800% to.png


What am I missing?



Example:

I start with

I get this

But want this
