NAME
       ImageMagick - is a free software suite for the creation, modification
       and display of bitmap images.

SYNOPSIS
       convert input-file [options] output-file

OVERVIEW
       Use ImageMagick(R) 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).
