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).
