You can install ImageMagick from source. However, if you don't have a proper development environment or if you're anxious to get started, download a ready-to-run Unix or Windows executable. Before you download, you may want to review recent changes to the ImageMagick distribution.
Download and install Go quickly with the steps described here. For other content on installing, you might be interested in: Managing Go installations- How to install multiple versions and uninstall. Installing Go from source- How to check out the sources, build them on your own machine, and run them. Native Win32 and OSX binaries are available here, however if you are a Windows user running Cygwin, running under that is recommended instead. A Mac port can be found both here and here. Ports to other platforms which GTK supports should be trivial. An experienced professional shown violating most known rules of electrical safety with GTKWave. Installing WinTin: A windows installer is available for download to install WinTin, which exists of the PuTTY terminal and a TinTin binary. Wintin doesn't have shell capabilities, but otherwise it's an excellent TinTin port that works on Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10. Cygwin provides some basic Unix functionality for Windows and an environment to install a lot of Unix applications. While Mac OS X includes a lot of this already there are additional packages like Fink, which allow you to install more unix software.
ImageMagick source and binary distributions are available from a variety of FTP and Web mirrors around the world.
Unix Binary Release
These are the Unix variations that we support. If your system is not on the list, try installing from source. Although ImageMagick runs fine on a single core computer, it automagically runs in parallel on multi-core systems reducing run times considerably.
Version | Description |
---|---|
magick | Complete portable application on Linux, no installation required. Just download and run. AppImages require FUSE to run. Many distributions have a working FUSE setup out-of-the-box. However if it is not working for you, you may need to install and configure FUSE manually. |

Verify its message digest.
ImageMagick RPM's are self-installing. Simply type the following command and you're ready to start using ImageMagick:
You'll need the libraries as well:
Note, if there are missing dependencies, install them from the EPEL repo.
For other systems, create (or choose) a directory to install the package into and change to that directory, for example:
Next, extract the contents of the package. For example:
Set the MAGICK_HOME
environment variable to the path where you extracted the ImageMagick files. For example:
If the bin
subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your executable search path, add it to your PATH
environment variable. For example:
On Linux and Solaris machines add $MAGICK_HOME/lib
to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable:
Finally, to verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following on the command line:
Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Unix or Linux and you are ready to use ImageMagick to convert, compose, or edit your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the Application Program Interfaces for C, C++, Perl, and others.
Mac OS X Binary Release
We recommend Homebrew which custom builds ImageMagick in your environment (some users prefer MacPorts). Download HomeBrew and type:
ImageMagick depends on Ghostscript fonts. To install them, type:
The brew
command downloads ImageMagick and many of its delegate libraries (e.g. JPEG, PNG, Freetype, etc.) and configures, builds, and installs ImageMagick automagically. Alternatively, you can download the ImageMagick Mac OS X distribution we provide:

Note, the display program requires the X11 server available on your Mac OS X installation DVD. Once that is installed, you will also need to set export DISPLAY=:0
.
The best way to deal with all the exports is to put them at the end of your .profile file

iOS Binary Release
~Claudio provides iOS builds of ImageMagick.
Download iOS Distribution
You can download the iOS distribution directly from ImageMagick's repository.
There are always 2 packages for the compiled ImageMagick:
- iOSMagick-VERSION-libs.zip
- iOSMagick-VERSION.zip
The first one includes headers and compiled libraries that have been used to compile ImageMagick. Most users would need this one.
ImageMagick compiling script for iOS OS and iOS Simulator
To run the script:
where VERSION is the version of ImageMagick you want to compile (i.e.: 7.0.10-35, svn, ...)
This script compiles ImageMagick as a static library to be included in iOS projects and adds support for
- png
- jpeg
- tiff
Upon successful compilation a folder called IMPORT_ME
is created on your ~/Desktop
. You can import it into your Xcode project.
Xcode project settings
After including everything into Xcode please also make sure to have these settings (Build tab of the project information):
- Other Linker Flags: -lMagickCore-Q16 -lMagickWand-Q16 -ljpeg -lpng -lbz2 -lz
- Header Search Paths: $(SRCROOT) - make it Recursive
- Library Search Paths: $(SRCROOT) - make it Recursive
On the lower left click on the small-wheel and select: Add User-Defined Setting
- Key: OTHER_CFLAGS
- Value: -Dmacintosh=1
Sample project
A sample project is available for download. It is not updated too often, but it does give an idea of all the settings and some ways to play around with ImageMagick in an iOS application.
Cygwin Mac Download Windows 10
Windows Binary Release
ImageMagick runs on Windows 10 (x86 & x64), Windows 8 (x86 & x64), Windows 7 (x86 & x64), Windows Server 2012, Windows Vista (x86 & x64) with Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2008 (x86 & x64) with Service Pack 2, and Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64).
The amount of memory can be an important factor, especially if you intend to work on large images. A minimum of 512 MB of RAM is recommended, but the more RAM the better. Although ImageMagick runs well on a single core computer, it automagically runs in parallel on multi-core systems reducing run times considerably.
The Windows version of ImageMagick is self-installing. Simply click on the appropriate version below and it will launch itself and ask you a few installation questions. Versions with Q8 in the name are 8 bits-per-pixel component (e.g. 8-bit red, 8-bit green, etc.), whereas, Q16 in the filename are 16 bits-per-pixel component. A Q16 version permits you to read or write 16-bit images without losing precision but requires twice as much resources as the Q8 version. Versions with dll in the filename include ImageMagick libraries as dynamic link libraries. Unless you have a Windows 32-bit OS, we recommend this version of ImageMagick for 64-bit Windows:
Version | Description |
---|---|
ImageMagick-7.0.10-35-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe | Win64 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel component |
Or choose from these alternate Windows binary distributions:
Version | Description |
---|---|
ImageMagick-7.0.10-35-Q16-x64-static.exe | Win64 static at 16 bits-per-pixel component |
ImageMagick-7.0.10-35-Q8-x64-dll.exe | Win64 dynamic at 8 bits-per-pixel component |

Use two double quotes for VBScript scripts:
Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Windows and you are ready to use ImageMagick to convert, compose, or edit your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the Application Program Interfaces for C, C++, Perl, and others.
News
X server 1.20 andX.Org X11 Release 7.7are included in Cygwin.Details are available in the announcementshere andhere.
Note that since X server 1.17, by default the server does not listen for TCP/IPconnections, only accepting local connections on a unix domain socket.See this FAQ for more details.
Users upgrading from monolithic X (Release 6.9 and earlier, available via setup before November 2008)should also see theannouncement about modular X.2018-Jun-29
Overview
Cygwin Download Mirrors
Cygwin/X is a port of the X Window System to the Cygwin API layer for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. Cygwin provides a UNIX-like API, thereby minimizing the amount of porting required.
Cygwin/X consists of an X server, X libraries, and nearly all of the standard X clients, such as xterm, xhost, xdpyinfo, xclock, xeyes, etc. Many more X programs are also packaged for Cygwin. See also the features and screenshots pages.
Cygwin/X is licensed under a MIT/X11 style license. Cygwin is licensed under a modified GNU General Public License that specifically allows libcygwin.a to be linked to programs that are licensed under an Open Source Definition compliant license without such linking requiring that those Open Source programs be licensed under the GNU General Public License (see the Cygwin licensing page for more information). Source code and binaries for both projects are freely available.
Downloading and Installing
Cygwin/X is installed via Cygwin's Installer, either setup-x86_64.exe (for the 64-bit version), or setup-x86.exe (for the 32-bit version of Cygwin), and the installation process is documented in the Cygwin/X User's Guide.
Whether or not you already have Cygwin installed, you can add Cygwin/X to your installation by downloading and running setup, and selecting the 'xinit' package from the 'X11' category.
Using Cygwin/X is documented in a step-by-step manner, with lots of pictures and examples, in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Please notice, however, that Cygwin/X contains many general-purpose programs, libraries, and functions that are part of all X distributions. It is therefore beyond the scope of the Cygwin/X User's Guide to document all of these X Window System components. To find documentation, for example, for setxkbmap one should consult the generic X documentation such as the setxkbmap(1) manual page. You could always, of course, do a Google search for setxkbmap, which finds the manual page mentioned above.
