## NAME
       ImageMagick  -  is a free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap
       images.

## SYNOPSIS
       **convert-im6.q16 _**input-file_ [_options_] _output-file_

## OVERVIEW
       Use ImageMagick® 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,  distort,
       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  interfaces:
       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), IMag‐
       ick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), magick (R), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK).  With  a
       language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically 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 re‐
       lease, 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,  An‐
       droid OS, and others.

       The  authoritative  ImageMagick version 6 web site is <https://legacy.imagemagick.org>. The au‐
       thoritative source code repository is <https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6>.  We  main‐
       tain a source code mirror at <https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6>.

       The  design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, with the design and implementation ef‐
       forts 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 implementation.

       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 al‐
       ters 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  portion
              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  cap‐
              ture 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).
