<meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

<div class="doc-section">
<p>Use the <kbd>convert</kbd> program to convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more. See <a href="../www/command-line-processing.html">Command Line Processing</a> for advice on how to structure your <kbd>convert</kbd> command or see below for example usages of the command.</p>
</div>
<h2><a name="usage"></a>Example Usage</h2>
<div class="doc-section">
<p>We list a few examples of the <kbd>convert</kbd> command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets convert an image in the JPEG format to PNG:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose.jpg rose.png</span></p>
<p>Next, we reduce the image size before it is written to the PNG format:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose.jpg -resize 50% rose.png</span></p>
<p class="image">
<a href="../images/rose.jpg">
<img src="../images/rose.jpg" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" />
</a>
<img style="margin-top:13px; margin-bottom:13px;" src="../images/right.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="==>" />
<a href="../images/rose.png">
<img style="margin-top:11px; margin-bottom:12px;" src="../images/rose.png" width="35" height="23" alt="rose" />
</a>
</p>
<p>You can combine multiple image-processing operations to produce complex results:</p>
<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert -size 320x85 xc:transparent -font Bookman-DemiItalic -pointsize 72 \ <br/>
-draw "text 25,60 'Magick'" -channel RGBA -blur 0x6 -fill darkred -stroke magenta \ <br/>
-draw "text 20,55 'Magick'" fuzzy-magick.png</span></p>
<p class="image">
<a href="../images/fuzzy-magick.png"><img src="../images/fuzzy-magick.png" width="320" height="85" alt="fuzzy-magick" /></a>
</p>
<p>You can find additional examples of using <kbd>convert</kbd> in <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a>.</p>
