| <p class="lead magick-description">ImageMagick includes a number of command-line utilities for manipulating images. Most of you are probably accustomed to editing images one at a time with a graphical user interface (GUI) with such programs as Gimp or Photoshop. However, a GUI is not always convenient. Suppose you want to process an image dynamically from a web script or you want to apply the same operations to many images or repeat a specific operation at different times to the same or different image. For these types of operations, the command-line image processing utility is appropriate.</p> |
| |
| <p>The ImageMagick <a href="command-line-processing.html">command-line</a> tools exit with a status of 0 if the command line arguments have a proper syntax and no problems are encountered. Expect a descriptive message and an exit status of 1 if any exception occurs such as improper syntax, a problem reading or writing an image, or any other problem that prevents the command from completing successfully.</p> |
| |
| <p>Here is a short description for each command-line tool. Click on the program name to get details about the program usage and a list of command-line options that alters how the program behaves. If you are just getting acquainted with ImageMagick, start with the <a href="command-line-tools.html#magick">magick</a> program. Be sure to peruse Anthony Thyssen's tutorial on how to use ImageMagick utilities to <a href="https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">create, edit, compose, or convert</a> images from the command-line.</p> |
