GraphicsMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating an image in over 90 major formats including popular formats like DPX, DICOM, BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PNG, PNM, SVG, and TIFF. A high-quality 2D renderer is included, which provides a subset of SVG capabilities. C, C++, Perl, Tcl, and Ruby are supported. Originally based on ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick focuses on performance, minimizing bugs, and providing stable APIs and ABIs. It runs on all modern variants of Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X.

Release Notes: This release fixes a PNG writer bug, eliminates some temporary file leaks, supports adding uniform random noise, adds -strip and -repage command options, makes the XCF format support selecting which layers to return, and makes the INFO coder support the -format option (similar to "identify").


Release Notes: This release adds bugfixes for the DPX, EMF, TGA, and DCRAW formats. Support for MEF RAW has been added.The Despeckle algorithm (-despeckle) is many times faster than before. The PNG, TIFF, and zlib libraries have been updated to the latest release versions for the Windows package.


Release Notes: Many bugs are fixed, including some that caused deadlocks or crashes. EXIF profiles are preserved when writing JPEG files, the benchmark facility now includes a mode for benchmarking with varying threads, the netpbm PAM format is supported, and the BigTIFF format supported under Windows.


Release Notes: This release fixes a number of bugs. Most significantly, use of GraphicsMagick as a filter was broken by the 1.3.10 release. Windows users should install this version in order to avoid possible exposure to a DOS attack from well-crafted PNG files.


Release Notes: This is both a bugfix and feature release. A critical bug related to the use of signed characters (introduced in 1.3.8) is fixed. Support is added for -compose, -extent, and -thumbnail command options.
