✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this is the ImageMagick-im6.q16hdri(1) manual page 💖 ImageMagick is a free software suite for making, editing, and displaying bitmap images 🎀 It's literally the go-to for pic edits.

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

Here's the basic shape of the command 💅

convert-im6.q16hdri input-file [options] output-file

🌸 OVERVIEW 🌸

Use ImageMagick® to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images 📸 It can read and write images in 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, adjust image colors, apply special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves ✨

The main way to use ImageMagick is from the command-line 💻 but you can also grab its 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, you can modify or create images dynamically and automagically 🪄

ImageMagick uses multiple computational threads to boost performance 🚀 and can read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes. Massive.

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

The ImageMagick development process keeps a stable API and ABI 👑 Before each release, the team runs a comprehensive security assessment including memory error checks, 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 design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, where the 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.

In the paragraphs below, you'll find a short description for each command-line tool. Click on the program name to get details on the program usage and a list of command-line options that alter how it performs. If you're just getting acquainted, start at the top of the list 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. Heads up: mogrify overwrites the original image file, whereas convert writes to a different image file ⚠️
  • composite — overlaps one image over another 🫧
  • montage — creates a composite image by combining several separate images. The images get tiled onto the composite, optionally adorned with a border, frame, image name, and more 🌷
  • compare — mathematically and visually annotates 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 the image, to your choice of storage formats. It writes the pixel components as they're read from the input image a row at a time, which makes stream a vibe 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) 🪄
