NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

10       convert input-file [options] output-file
11

OVERVIEW

13       Use ImageMagick® to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It
14       can  read and write images in a variety of formats (over 200) including
15       PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, DPX, EXR, WebP, Postscript, PDF,  and  SVG.
16       Use  ImageMagick  to  resize,  flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and
17       transform images, adjust image colors, apply various  special  effects,
18       or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and B\['e]zier curves.
19
20       The  functionality  of  ImageMagick is typically utilized from the com‐
21       mand-line or you can use the features from programs written in your fa‐
22       vorite  language.  Choose  from these interfaces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore
23       (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+),  Magick++
24       (C++),  JMagick (Java), JuliaIO (Julia), L-Magick (Lisp), Lua (LuaJIT),
25       NMagick (Neko/haXe), Magick.NET (.NET), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMag‐
26       ick  (Perl),  MagickWand  for  PHP  (PHP),  IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick
27       (Python), magick (R), RMagick (Ruby), or  TclMagick  (Tcl/TK).  With  a
28       language  interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynami‐
29       cally and automagically.
30
31       ImageMagick utilizes multiple computational threads to increase perfor‐
32       mance and can read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image
33       sizes.
34
35       ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distri‐
36       bution or as source code that you may use, copy, modify, and distribute
37       in both open and proprietary applications. It is  distributed  under  a
38       derived Apache 2.0 license.
39
40       The  ImageMagick  development process ensures a stable API and ABI. Be‐
41       fore each ImageMagick release, we perform a comprehensive security  as‐
42       sessment  that  includes  memory error, thread data race detection, and
43       continuous fuzzing to help prevent security vulnerabilities.
44
45       The current release is ImageMagick 6.9.10-11. It runs  on  Linux,  Win‐
46       dows, Mac Os X, iOS, Android OS, and others.
47
48       The    authoritative    ImageMagick    version    6    web    site   is
49       https://legacy.imagemagick.org. The authoritative source  code  reposi‐
50       tory  is  https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.  We  maintain  a
51       source code mirror at https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.
52
53       The design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, with  the  design
54       and  implementation  efforts  serving  to  influence  and guide further
55       progress in the other. With ImageMagick version 7 we aim to improve the
56       design based on lessons learned from the version 6 implementation.
57
58       In the paragraphs below, find a short description for each command-line
59       tool.Cl ick on the program name to get details on the program usage and
60       a  list  of comman d-line options that alters how the program performs.
61       If you are just getting acq uainted with ImageMagick, start at the  top
62       of the list, the convert program, and
63        work  your way down. Also be sure to peruse Anthony Thyssen's tutorial
64       on how to
65        use ImageMagick utilities to convert, compose, or edit images from the
66       command- line.
67
68       convert
69
70              convert  between image formats as well as resize an image, blur,
71              crop, despeckle, dither, draw on,  flip,  join,  re-sample,  and
72              much more.
73
74       identify
75
76              describes  the  format  and characteristics of one or more image
77              files.
78
79       mogrify
80
81              resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw  on,  flip,
82              join,  re-sample, and much more. Mogrify overwrites the original
83              image file, whereas, convert writes to a different image file.
84
85       composite
86
87              overlaps one image over another.
88
89       montage
90
91              create a composite image by combining several  separate  images.
92              The  images  are tiled on the composite image optionally adorned
93              with a border, frame, image name, and more.
94
95       compare
96
97              mathematically and visually annotate the difference  between  an
98              image and its reconstruction..
99
100
101       stream
102
103              is  a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of
104              the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage for‐
105              mats.  It  writes the pixel components as they are read from the
106              input image a row at a time making stream desirable when working
107              with large images or when you require raw pixel components.
108
109
110       display
111
112              displays an image or image sequence on any X server.
113
114       animate
115
116              animates an image sequence on any X server.
117
118       import
119
120              saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an im‐
121              age file. You can capture a single window, the entire screen, or
122              any rectangular portion of the screen.
123
124       conjure
125
126              interprets  and executes scripts written in the Magick Scripting
127              Language (MSL).
