ImageMagick(1)                                                  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) includ-
       ing 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  com-
       mand-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), PerlMag-
       ick (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 perfor-
       mance and can read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image
       sizes.

       ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distri-
       bution 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, Win-
       dows, Mac Os X, iOS, Android OS, and others.

       The   authoritative    ImageMagick    version    6    web    site    is
       https://legacy.imagemagick.org.  The  authoritative source code reposi-
       tory  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 for-
              mats. 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).
