Is there any easy shortcut to resizing an image by percentage or fitting to a specific size?

Many a times, a website says "file needs to be no bigger than 2 MB", and I need to scramble with Preview app to resize teh app until it falls below that limit. A cli tool for that action would be very handy.

You can use ImageMagick's `convert`.

  convert original.jpg -define jpeg:extent=2MB output.jpg

The result will be around 2MB in size (in both directions).
