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">6.9.11-59</a>.

href="https://legacy.imagemagick.org/Usage/" target="_blank"/> 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.
