NAME
ImageMagick - is a free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bit-
map images.
SYNOPSIS
convert-im6.q16 input-file [options] output-file
OVERVIEW
Use ImageMagick(R) to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and
write images in a variety of formats (over 200) including PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, DPX,
EXR, WebP, Postscript, PDF, and SVG. Use ImageMagick to resize, flip, mirror, rotate, dis-
tort, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or
draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and B\['e]zier curves.
The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command-line or you can
use the features from programs written in your favorite language. Choose from these inter-
faces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+),
Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), JuliaIO (Julia), L-Magick (Lisp), Lua (LuaJIT), NMagick
(Neko/haXe), Magick.NET (.NET), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for
PHP (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), magick (R), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick
(Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynami-
cally and automagically.
ImageMagick utilizes multiple computational threads to increase performance and can read,
process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes.
ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source
code that you may use, copy, modify, and distribute in both open and proprietary applica-
tions. It is distributed under a derived Apache 2.0 license.
The ImageMagick development process ensures a stable API and ABI. Before each ImageMagick
release, we perform a comprehensive security assessment that includes memory error, thread
data race detection, and continuous fuzzing to help prevent security vulnerabilities.
The current release is ImageMagick 6.9.10-11. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X, iOS,
Android OS, and others.
The authoritative ImageMagick version 6 web site is https://legacy.imagemagick.org. The
authoritative source code repository is https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6. We
maintain a source code mirror at https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.
The design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, with the design and implementation
efforts serving to influence and guide further progress in the other. With ImageMagick
version 7 we aim to improve the design based on lessons learned from the version 6 imple-
mentation.
In the paragraphs below, find a short description for each command-line tool.Cl ick on the
program name to get details on the program usage and a list of comman d-line options that
alters how the program performs. If you are just getting acq uainted with ImageMagick,
start at the top of the list, the convert program, and
work your way down. Also be sure to peruse Anthony Thyssen's tutorial on how to
use ImageMagick utilities to convert, compose, or edit images from the command- line.
convert
convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle,
dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more.
identify
describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files.
mogrify
resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and
much more. Mogrify overwrites the original image file, whereas, convert writes to a
different image file.
composite
overlaps one image over another.
montage
create a composite image by combining several separate images. The images are tiled
on the composite image optionally adorned with a border, frame, image name, and
more.
compare
mathematically and visually annotate the difference between an image and its recon-
struction..
stream
is a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or por-
tion of the image to your choice of storage formats. It writes the pixel components
as they are read from the input image a row at a time making stream desirable when
working with large images or when you require raw pixel components.
display
displays an image or image sequence on any X server.
animate
animates an image sequence on any X server.
import
saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file. You can
capture a single window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the
screen.
conjure
interprets and executes scripts written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL).
