It can be used to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images, and supports a wide range of file <a href="formats.html">formats</a>, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Ultra HDR.</p>
<p>ImageMagick is widely used in industries such as web development, graphic design, and video editing, as well as in scientific research, medical imaging, and astronomy. Its versatile and customizable nature, along with its robust image processing capabilities, make it a popular choice for a wide range of image-related tasks.</p>
<p>ImageMagick includes a command-line interface for executing complex image processing tasks, as well as APIs for integrating its features into software applications. It is written in C and can be used on a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.</p>
<p>The main website for ImageMagick can be found at <a href="../index.html">https://imagemagick.org</a>. The most recent version available is <a href="download.html">ImageMagick 7.1.2-1</a>. The source code for this software can be accessed through a <a href="https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick" rel="noopener" target="_blank">repository</a>. In addition, we maintain a legacy version of ImageMagick, <a href="../index.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">version 6</a>. Read our <a href="porting.html">porting</a> guide for comprehensive details on transitioning from version 6 to version 7.</p>
<p>Creating a security policy that fits your specific local environment before making use of ImageMagick is highly advised. You can find guidance on setting up this <a href="security-policy.html">policy</a>. Also, it's important to verify your policy using the <a href="../index.html">validation tool</a>.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="features"></a>Features and Capabilities</h3>
<p>One of the key features of ImageMagick is its support for scripting and automation. This allows users to create complex image manipulation pipelines that can be run automatically, without the need for manual intervention. This can be especially useful for tasks that require the processing of large numbers of images, or for tasks that need to be performed on a regular basis.</p>
<p>In addition to its core image manipulation capabilities, ImageMagick also includes a number of other features, such as support for animation, color management, and image rendering. These features make it a versatile tool for a wide range of image-related tasks, including graphic design, scientific visualization, and digital art.</p>
<p>Overall, ImageMagick is a powerful and versatile software suite for displaying, converting, and editing image files. Its support for scripting and automation, along with its other features, make it a valuable tool for a wide range of image-related tasks.</p>
