NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

OVERVIEW

       Use ImageMagick® to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write  images  in  a
       variety  of formats (over 200) including 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 Bézier curves.

       The  functionality  of  ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command-line.  It can also be accessed
       from programs written in your favorite language using the corresponding 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),
       PerlMagick  (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
       dynamically and automagically.

       ImageMagick  utilizes  multiple  computational threads to increase 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 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 7.0.8-11. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X, iOS,  Android  OS,  and
       others.    We   continue   to   maintain   the   legacy   release   of   ImageMagick,   version   6,   at
       https://legacy.imagemagick.org.

       The authoritative  ImageMagick  web  site  is  https://imagemagick.org.  The  authoritative  source  code
       repository    is    https://github.com/ImageMagick.    We    maintain    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  at
       one  time  or  another  using programs such as GIMP or Photoshop, which expose their functionality mainly
       through a graphical user interface. However, a GUI program is not always the right tool. Suppose you want
       to process an image dynamically from a web script, or you want to  apply  the  same  operations  to  many
       images, or repeat a specific operation at different times to the same or different image. For these types
       of operations, a command-line utility is more suitable.

       The  remaining  of  this  manpage  is  a  list  of  the  available command-line utilities and their short
       descriptions.  For further documentation concerning a particular command and  its  options,  consult  the
       corresponding  manpage.  If  you  are  just getting acquainted with ImageMagick, start at the top of that
       list, the magick(1) program, and work your way down. Also, make  sure  to  check  out  Anthony  Thyssen's
       tutorial on how to use ImageMagick utilities to convert, compose, or edit images from the command-line.

       magick Read images into memory, perform operations on those images, and write them out to either the same
              or  some  other  image  file  format.   The "-script" option can be used to switch from processing
              command line options, to reading options from a file or pipeline.

       magick-script
              This command is similar to magick(1) but with an  implied  "-script"  option.   It  is  useful  in
              special  "#!/usr/bin/env  magick-script"  scripts  that  search  for  the magick-script(1) command
              anywhere along the users PATH, rather than in a hardcoded command location.

       convert
              Available for Backward compatibility with ImageMagick's version 6 convert(1).  Essentially, it  is
              just an alias to a restrictive form of the magick(1) command, which should be used instead.

       mogrify
              Resize  an  image,  blur,  crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more.
              This command overwrites the original image file, whereas convert(1) writes to  a  different  image
              file.

       identify
              Describe the format and characteristics of one or more image files.

       composite
              Overlap one image over another.

       montage
              Create a composite image by combining several separate ones. 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 Stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage
              formats.  It  writes  the pixel components as they are read from the input image, a row at a time,
              making stream(1) desirable when  working  with  large  images,  or  when  you  require  raw  pixel
              components.

       display
              Display an image or image sequence on any X server.

       animate
              Animate an image sequence on any X server.

       import Save  any  visible window on any X server and output it as an image file. You can capture a single
              window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the it.

       conjure
              Interpret and execute scripts written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL).
