Here is a short bash script that you can use.
give it a name ,something like 'reduce'
#! /bin/bash
for file in *.jpg
do
convert $file -resize $1x$1 $file
done
xxxxxxxxxx
Have the script in the directory where you have a *copy*  of all your 650 
files.
Usage: reduce NNN
NNN is the desired pixel size e.g 1200
All your 650 pictures will be converted to this new size, regardless of the 
original size.
