ImageMagick is a free software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images using text-based commands. The commands can be issued from the command line, but more often will be included in web or desktop applications – carrying out complex image-manipulation tasks in response to the user’s input.
ImageMagick is a popular way for generating images on-the-fly in web pages, whether it’s generating thumbnails from a large image, or creating complex combinations of images, text, and effects chosen by a visitor or the web site’s creator.
