ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images, 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. It can read and write images in different types of formats including GIF, JPEG,PDF, PNG, TIFF and many more.

Its functionality can be utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs like: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), NMagick (Neko/haXe), MagickNet (.NET), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK).



RMagick is a binding from Ruby to the ImageMagick image manipulation library. RMagick is a complete interface to ImageMagick. RMagick 1 and RMagick 2 are the two RMagick versions. RMagick 2 is the future of RMagick which works with the latest Ruby version
