Use ImageMagick<sup><a href="http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&amp;entry=78333969">&#174;</a></sup> to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images.  It can read and write images in a variety of <a href="www/formats.html">formats</a> (over 200) including PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, <a href="www/motion-picture.html">DPX</a>, <a href="www/high-dynamic-range.html">EXR</a>, WebP, Postscript, PDF, and SVG.  ImageMagick can 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.</p>

<p>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 <a href="www/license.html">license</a>.</p>
<p>ImageMagick utilizes multiple computational threads to increase performance and can read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes.</p>

<p>The current release is ImageMagick <a href="www/download.html">7.0.10-24</a>.  It runs on <a href="www/download.html#unix">Linux</a>, <a href="www/download.html#windows">Windows</a>, <a href="www/download.html#macosx">Mac Os X</a>, <a href="www/download.html#iOS">iOS</a>, <a href="https://github.com/cherryleafroad/Android-ImageMagick7">Android</a> OS, and others.</p>

<p>The authoritative ImageMagick web site is <a href="index.html">https://imagemagick.org</a>. The authoritative source code repository is <a href="https://github.com/ImageMagick" target="_blank">https://github.com/ImageMagick</a>.  We maintain a source code mirror at <a href="https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick" target="_blank">https://gitlab.com/ImageMagick</a>.

<p><a href="./Usage/" target="_blank">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a> shows how to use ImageMagick from the <a href="www/command-line-processing.html">command-line</a> to accomplish any of these tasks and much more. Also, see <a href="http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/" target="_blank">Fred's ImageMagick Scripts</a>:  a plethora of command-line scripts that perform geometric transforms, blurs, sharpens, edging, noise removal, and color manipulations. With <a href="https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET">Magick.NET</a>, use ImageMagick without having to install ImageMagick on your server or desktop.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" id="news"></a>News</h2>

<p>ImageMagick best practices <strong>strongly</strong> encourages you to configure a <a href="www/security-policy.html">security policy</a> that suits your local environment.</p>


<p class="highlight">We are utilizing a new community <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/discussions">discussion</a> service.  The previous <a target="_blank" href="https://imagemagick.org/discourse-server/">discourse server</a> remains available to read previous discussions.</p>

<p>We discovered a bug in the pseudo-random generator prior to ImageMagick 7.0.9-11, the first 3 values repeated because the random state was not initialized properly.  As a consequence of the fix, expect a different numerical sequence when seeding (-seed).</p>

<p>As an analog to linear (RGB) and non-linear (sRGB) color colorspaces, as of ImageMagick 7.0.7-17, we introduce the LinearGray colorspace.  Gray is non-linear grayscale and LinearGray is linear (e.g. -colorspace linear-gray).</p>

<p>Now that ImageMagick version 7 is released, we continue to maintain the legacy release of ImageMagick, version 6, at <a href="https://legacy.imagemagick.org/">https://legacy.imagemagick.org</a>.  Learn how ImageMagick version 7 differs from previous versions with our <a href="www/porting.html">porting guide</a>.</p>

<p>The ImageMagick development process ensures a stable API and <a href="https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/imagemagick/">ABI</a>. Before each ImageMagick release, we perform a comprehensive security assessment that includes <a href="https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer">memory error</a>, <a href="https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/ThreadSanitizer">thread data race</a> detection, and continuous <a href="https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz">fuzzing</a> to detect and prevent security vulnerabilities.</p>

<p>Want more performance from ImageMagick?  Try these options:</p>

<ul>
<li>add more memory to your system, see <a href="www/architecture.html#cache">the pixel cache</a>;</li>
<li>add more cores to your system, see <a href="www/architecture.html#threads">threads of execution support</a>;</li>
<li>reduce lock contention with the <a href="http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/tcmalloc.html">tcmalloc</a> memory allocation library;</li>
<li>push large images to a solid-state drive, see <a href="www/architecture.html#tera-pixel">large image support</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>If these options are prohibitive, you can reduce the quality of the image results.  The default build is Q16 HDRI.  If you disable <a href="www/high-dynamic-range.html">HDRI</a>, you use half the memory and instead of predominately floating point operations, you use the typically more efficient integer operations.  The tradeoff is reduced precision and you cannot process out of range pixel values (e.g. negative).  If you build the Q8 non-HDRI  version of ImageMagick, you again reduce the memory requirements in half-- and once again there is a tradeoff, even less precision and no out of range pixel values.  For a Q8 non-HDRI build of ImageMagick, use these <code>configure</code> script options: <code>--with-quantum-depth=8 --disable-hdri</code>.</p>
