GraphicsMagick 1.0.5 is a robust collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over 88 major formats including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, SVG, and GIF. GraphicsMagick supports creating new images on the fly, making it suitable for building dynamic Web applications. GraphicsMagick may be used to resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save the result in the same or differing image format. Image processing operations are available from the command line, as well as through C, C++, Perl, Java, or COM programming interfaces. Extensions are available from third-parties to support programming in Borland's Delphi, Java, PHP, Python, Scheme, and Ruby.

GraphicsMagick is copyrighted by the GraphicsMagick Group. GraphicsMagick is available for free, may be used to support both open and proprietary applications, and may be redistributed without fee.

GraphicsMagick is quite portable, and compiles under almost every general purpose operating system that runs on 32-bit or 64-bit CPUs. GraphicsMagick is available for virtually any Unix or Unix-like system, including Linux. It also runs under Windows '98 and later ('98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP), Macintosh (MacOS 9 and 10), VMS, and OS/2.
