Overview
Download ImageMagick
Install ImageMagick
You can install ImageMagick from source. However, if you don't have a proper development environment or if you're anxious to get started, download a ready-to-run Linux or Windows executable.
Command-line Tools
- magick: convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and more.
- animate: animates an image sequence on any X server.
- compare: mathematically and visually annotate the difference between an image and its reconstruction.
- composite: overlaps one image over another.
- conjure: interprets and executes scripts written in the Magick Scripting Language (MSL).
- convert: convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and more.
- display: displays an image or image sequence on any X server.
- identify: describes the format and characteristics of one or more image files.
- import: saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file.
- mogrify: resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and more.
- montage: create a composite image by combining several separate images.
- stream: a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats.
Program Interfaces
- CL-Magick: provides a Common Lisp interface to the ImageMagick library.
- Magick.NET: Use Magick.NET to convert, compose, and edit images from Windows .NET.
- Magick++: provides an object-oriented C++ interface to ImageMagick.
- IMagick: is a native PHP extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API.
- JMagick: provides an object-oriented Java interface to ImageMagick.
- MagickCore: C API, recommended for wizard-level developers.
- MagickWand: convert, compose, and edit images from the C language.
- nMagick: is a port of the ImageMagick library to the haXe and Neko platforms.
- PascalMagick: a Pascal binding for the MagickWand API and also the low-level MagickCore library.
- PerlMagick: convert, compose, and edit images from the Perl language.
- PythonMagick: an object-oriented Python interface to ImageMagick.
- RMagick: is an interface between the Ruby programming language and ImageMagick.
- TclMagick: a native Tcl-extension to the ImageMagick MagickWand API.

Miscellaneous Topics
Animation | create a GIF animation sequence from a group of images. |
Bilateral blur | non-linear, edge-preserving, and noise-reducing smoothing filter. |
Color management | accurate color management with color profiles or in lieu of-- built-in gamma compression or expansion as demanded by the colorspace. |
Color thresholding | force all pixels in the color range to white otherwise black. |
Command-line processing | utilize ImageMagick from the command-line. |
Complex text layout | bidirectional text support and shaping. |
Composite | overlap one image over another. |
Connected component labeling | uniquely label connected regions in an image. |
Convex hull | smallest area convex polygon containing the image foreground objects. In addition, the minimum bounding box and unrotate angle are also generated. |
Decorate | add a border or frame to an image. |
Delineate image features | Canny edge detection, Hough lines. |
Discrete Fourier transform | implements the forward and inverse DFT. |
Distributed pixel cache | offload intermediate pixel storage to one or more remote servers. |
Draw | add shapes or text to an image. |
Encipher or decipher an image | convert ordinary images into unintelligible gibberish and back again. |
Format conversion | convert an image from one format to another (e.g. PNG to JPEG). |
Generalized pixel distortion | correct for, or induce image distortions including perspective. |
Heterogeneous distributed processing | certain algorithms are OpenCL-enabled to take advantage of speed-ups offered by executing in concert across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, and other processors. |
High dynamic-range images | accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from the brightest direct sunlight to the deepest darkest shadows. |
Histogram Equalization | Use adaptive histogram equalization to improve contrast in images. |
Image calculator | apply a mathematical expression to an image, image sequence, or image channels. |
Image gradients | create a gradual blend of two colors whose shape is horizontal, vertical, circular, or elliptical. |
Image identification | describe the format and attributes of an image. |
ImageMagick on the iPhone | convert, edit, or compose images on your iOS device such as the iPhone or iPad. |
Large image support | read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes. |
Montage | juxtapose image thumbnails on an image canvas. |
Morphology of shapes | extract features, describe shapes, and recognize patterns in images. |
Motion picture support | read and write the common image formats used in digital film work. |
Noise and color reduction | Kuwahara Filter, mean-shift. |
Perceptual hash | map visually identical images to the same or similar hash-- useful in image retrieval, authentication, indexing, or copy detection as well as digital watermarking. |
Special effects | blur, sharpen, threshold, or tint an image. |
Text & comments | insert descriptive or artistic text in an image. |
Threads of execution support | ImageMagick is thread safe and most internal algorithms execute in parallel to take advantage of speed-ups offered by multicore processor chips. |
Transform | resize, rotate, deskew, crop, flip or trim an image. |
Transparency | render portions of an image invisible. |
Virtual pixel support | convenient access to pixels outside the image boundaries. |
