NAME

       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

       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 B\['e]zier curves.

       The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command-line or you can use the  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, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and
       automagically.

       ImageMagick utilizes multiple computational threads to increase performance and  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 6.9.10-11. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X, iOS, Android OS, and
       others.

       The authoritative ImageMagick version 6 web site  is  https://legacy.imagemagick.org.  The  authoritative
       source  code  repository is https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6. We maintain a source code mirror
       at https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6.

       The design of ImageMagick is an evolutionary process, with the design and implementation efforts  serving
       to  influence  and  guide further progress in the other. With ImageMagick version 7 we aim to improve the
       design based on lessons learned from the version 6 implementation.

       In the paragraphs below, find a short description for each command-line tool.Cl ick on the  program  name
       to  get  details  on  the  program  usage and a list of comman d-line options that alters how the program
       performs. If you are just getting acq uainted with ImageMagick, start at the top of the list, 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 as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on,
              flip, join, re-sample, and 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  much  more.
              Mogrify overwrites the original image file, whereas, convert writes to a different image file.

       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

              is a lightweight tool to 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 desirable when working with large images or when  you  require
              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).
