 ImageMagick<sup><a href="http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&amp;entry=78333969">&#174;</a></sup> is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images.  It can read and write images in a variety of <a href="www/formats.html">formats</a> (over 200) including PNG, JPEG, JPEG-2000, GIF, TIFF, <a href="www/motion-picture.html">DPX</a>, <a href="www/high-dynamic-range.html">EXR</a>, 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 Bézier curves.</p>

 <p>The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the <a href="www/command-line-processing.html">command-line</a> or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite language. Choose from these interfaces: <a href="www/api.html#ada">G2F</a> (Ada), <a href="www/api.html#c">MagickCore</a> (C), <a href="www/api.html#c">MagickWand</a> (C), <a href="www/api.html#ch">ChMagick</a> (Ch), <a href="www/api.html#com_">ImageMagickObject</a> (COM+), <a href="www/api.html#c__">Magick++</a> (C++), <a href="www/api.html#java">JMagick</a> (Java), <a href="www/api.html#lisp">L-Magick</a> (Lisp), <a href="www/api.html#lua">Lua</a> (LuaJIT), <a href="www/api.html#neko">NMagick</a> (Neko/haXe), <a href="www/api.html#dot-net">Magick.NET</a> (.NET), <a href="www/api.html#pascal">PascalMagick</a> (Pascal),  <a href="www/api.html#perl">PerlMagick</a> (Perl), <a href="www/api.html#php">MagickWand for PHP</a> (PHP),  <a href="www/api.html#php">IMagick</a> (PHP), <a href="www/api.html#python">PythonMagick</a> (Python), <a href="www/api.html#ruby">RMagick</a> (Ruby), or <a href="www/api.html#tcl">TclMagick</a> (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and <var>automagically</var>.</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>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 the Apache 2.0 <a href="www/license.html">license</a>.</p>

 <p>The ImageMagick development process ensures a <a href="http://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/imagemagick/">stable</a> API and ABI. Before each ImageMagick release, we perform a comprehensive security assessment that includes <a href="https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/">memory error</a> and <a href="https://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer">thread data race</a> detection to prevent security vulnerabilities.</p>

 <p>The current release is ImageMagick <a href="www/binary-releases.html">7.0.2-0</a>.  It runs on <a href="www/binary-releases.html#unix">Linux</a>, <a href="www/binary-releases.html#windows">Windows</a>, <a href="www/binary-releases.html#macosx">Mac Os X</a>, <a href="www/binary-releases.html#iOS">iOS</a>, Android OS, and others.</p>

 <p><a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a> 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/">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://magick.codeplex.com/">Magick.NET</a>, use ImageMagick without having to install ImageMagick on your server or desktop.</p>

	<p><a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a> 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/">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://magick.codeplex.com/">Magick.NET</a>, use ImageMagick without having to install ImageMagick on your server or desktop.</p>
