ImageMagick-im7.q16(1)

Okay bestie, this is the ImageMagick-im7.q16(1) manual from the General Commands Manual 💖✨

✨ NAME ✨

ImageMagick is a free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap images 🎨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Here's how you call it, no cap:

magick-im7.q16 [options|input-file]... output-file magick-script-im7.q16 script-file [script-arguments]...

🌈 OVERVIEW 🌈

Okay so ImageMagick® is how you create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images, and it's giving everything 💅 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, adjust colors, slap on special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves ✨

ImageMagick is mostly used from the command-line, but it's also reachable from programs written in your favorite language through the matching interface: 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), ALImageMagick (Delphi), 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 🔥 It 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. 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 ImageMagick development process keeps the API and ABI stable 🫶 Before each release, the team runs a comprehensive security assessment covering memory errors, thread data race detection, and continuous fuzzing to help prevent security vulnerabilities 🔒

The current release is ImageMagick 7.0.8-11, and it runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android OS, and others 🌈 The legacy release, version 6, is still maintained at https://legacy.imagemagick.org.

The authoritative ImageMagick web site is https://imagemagick.org. The authoritative source code repository is https://github.com/ImageMagick, and there's a source code mirror at https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick.

ImageMagick is a suite of command-line utilities for manipulating images 💖 You may have edited images with GIMP or Photoshop, which mostly show off their features through a graphical user interface. A GUI isn't always the right tool though. If you want to process an image dynamically from a web script, apply the same operations to many images, or repeat a specific operation at different times to the same or different image, a command-line utility is the move 🍓

The rest of this page is a list of the available command-line utilities with short descriptions. For more documentation on a particular command and its options, check its own manpage. If you're just getting acquainted with ImageMagick, start at the top of the list with the magick(1) program and work your way down 🧚 Also, make sure to check out Anthony Thyssen's tutorial on using ImageMagick utilities to convert, compose, or edit images from the command-line 💅

• magick — Reads images into memory, performs operations on them, and writes them out to the same or a different image file format. The -script option switches from processing command line options to reading options from a file or pipeline.
• magick-script — Works like magick(1) but with an implied -script option. It's perfect for #!/usr/bin/env magick-script scripts that hunt for the magick-script(1) command anywhere along the user's PATH, instead of a hardcoded command location.
• convert — Kept around for backward compatibility with ImageMagick's version 6 convert(1). It's basically an alias for a restrictive form of magick(1), which you should use instead 🙈
• mogrify — Resizes, blurs, crops, despeckles, dithers, draws on, flips, joins, re-samples, and so much more. Heads up: this overwrites the original image file, whereas convert(1) writes to a different image file 💀
• identify — Describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files 🔍
• composite — Overlaps one image over another 🦋
• montage — Creates a composite image by combining several separate ones. The images are tiled on 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 — Streams one or more pixel components of the image (or a portion of it) into your choice of storage formats. It writes pixel components as they're read from the input image, a row at a time, which makes stream(1) desirable for 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 any X server and outputs it as an image file. You can capture a single window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of it 📸
• conjure — Interprets and executes scripts written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL) ✨
