ImageMagick(1) General Commands Manual ImageMagick(1)
NAME
ImageMagick - is a free software suite for the creation, modification
and display of bitmap images.
SYNOPSIS
convert 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, 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), IMagick (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 applications. 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 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 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 reconstruction..
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 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).
