Problem with resizing png images

Hi
I want to reduce the size of png-images. But Executing a command with the following options horribly distorted images.
nconvert.exe -ratio -resize 500 0 -o "D:\Imgs_resize\%" "d:\Imgs\*.png"
Why is the image so bad?

There are examples of bad images in attached files with "_res" in the end

The code in the help file for the resize option is:

Code: Select all

-resize w h      : Scale width-height
            w h can be percent (ex: -resize 100% 200%)
So you are resizing to a height of 0 pixels ??

if you means bad quality, you need to resize in greyscale and not in binary, so please add before -resize

Code: Select all

-grey 256
