✨ NAME ✨

Heyyy bestie 🎀 you're looking at ImageMagick-im6.q16(1), filed under the General Commands Manual. Let's get into it 💅

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 🌸

okay so ImageMagick® is literally the move if you want to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images 😭 It can read and write over 200 formats, including PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, DPX, EXR, WebP, Postscript, PDF, and SVG 💖 You can resize, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and transform images, tweak colours, add special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. It's giving main character energy 👑

The vibe is command-line first, but you can also use the features from programs written in your favourite language 🧚 The interfaces are 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 you can modify or create images dynamically and automagically ✨

ImageMagick uses multiple computational threads to go faster 🏎️💨 and it can read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes. Iconic behaviour 🔥

ImageMagick is free software, shipped as a ready-to-run binary or as source code. You can use, copy, modify, and distribute it in both open and proprietary applications 🫶 It's distributed under a derived Apache 2.0 license.

The development process keeps a stable API and ABI 💅 Before each release, they run a comprehensive security assessment covering memory errors, thread data race detection, and continuous fuzzing to help prevent security vulnerabilities. Lowkey impressive 🥹

The current release is ImageMagick 6.9.10-11, and it runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X, iOS, Android OS, and others 🌈

Find the authoritative ImageMagick version 6 web site at https://legacy.imagemagick.org. The authoritative source code repository is https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6, and there's a source code mirror at https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6 🦋

The design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, where design and implementation efforts influence and guide each other. With ImageMagick version 7, the goal is to improve the design based on lessons learned from the version 6 implementation 🌟

🧚 The Tools 🧚

Below, you'll find a short description of each command-line tool. Click on the program name to get details on how to use it and a list of command-line options that change how it runs 👀 If you're just getting acquainted with ImageMagick, start at the top with 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, plus resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and so 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 so much more. Mogrify overwrites the original image file, whereas convert writes to a different image file.
⚠️ bestie, mogrify overwrites the original image file. convert writes to a different image file, so it's the safer pick if you want to keep the original 😭
  • 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 — a lightweight tool that streams one or more pixel components of the image, or a portion of it, to your choice of storage formats. It writes the pixel components as they're read from the input image one row at a time, which makes stream desirable when working with large images or when you need 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) 🪄
