Here are just a few examples of what ImageMagick can do:

  • Format conversion: convert an image from one format to another (e.g. PNG to JPEG).
  • Transform: resize, rotate, crop, flip or trim an image.
  • Transparency: render portions of an image invisible.
  • Draw: add shapes or text to an image.
  • Decorate: add a border or frame to an image.
  • Special effects: blur, sharpen, threshold, or tint an image.
  • Animation: create a GIF animation sequence from a group of images.
  • Text & comments: insert descriptive or artistic text in an image.
  • Image identification: describe the format and attributes of an image.
  • Composite: overlap one image over another.
  • Montage: juxtapose image thumbnails on an image canvas.
  • Generalized pixel distortion: correct for, or induce image distortions including perspective.
  • Morphology of shapes: extract features, describe shapes and recognize patterns in images.
  • Motion picture support: read and write the common image formats used in digital film work.
  • Image calculator: apply a mathematical expression to an image or image channels.
  • Discrete Fourier transform: implements the forward and inverse DFT.
  • Color management: accurate color management with color profiles or in lieu of-- built-in gamma compression or expansion as demanded by the colorspace.
  • High dynamic-range images: accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from the brightest direct sunlight to the deepest darkest shadows.
  • Encipher or decipher an image: convert ordinary images into unintelligible gibberish and back again.
  • Virtual pixel support: convenient access to pixels outside the image region.
  • Large image support: read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes.
  • Threads of execution support: ImageMagick is thread safe and most internal algorithms execute in parallel to take advantage of speed-ups offered by multicore processor chips.
  • Distributed pixel cache: offload intermediate pixel storage to one or more remote servers.
  • Heterogeneous distributed processing: certain algorithms are OpenCL-enabled to take advantage of speed-ups offered by executing in concert across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, and other processors.
  • ImageMagick on the iPhone: convert, edit, or compose images on your iOS comuting device such as the iPhone or iPad.
