The record

Image processing: GraphicsMagick provides utilities, programming interfaces, and GUIs for image conversion, processing, and 2D vector rendering.
Image operations: It can convert, resize, rotate, sharpen, reduce colors, apply effects, compare images, create montages and GIF animations, composite images, and draw shapes or text.
Format support: It reads, writes, and manipulates images in over 92 major formats, including AVIF, GIF, HEIC, JPEG, JPEG-2000, JXL, PNG, PDF, TIFF, and WebP.
Large images: GraphicsMagick supports huge images and has been tested with gigapixel-size images.
Performance: Image processing uses OpenMP multi-threading so CPU-bound tasks can scale as processor cores are added; OpenMP requires a compatible compiler.
Programming interfaces: Interfaces are available for C, C++, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, Ruby, Windows .NET, and Windows COM, as well as the command line.
Platforms: The project says it runs on Unix and Unix-like systems including Linux, Windows 10 and later, and MacOS-X.
Build dependencies: Some format capabilities require external libraries or programs, including Ghostscript for Postscript and PDF and dcraw for camera RAW formats.
Security testing: The project says it participates in Google's OSS-Fuzz and reports testing with Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.
Download verification: The download page describes verifying distributed packages with GnuPG signatures and also mentions SHA-256 or SHA-1 checksums in release announcements.
License: GraphicsMagick is distributed under an MIT-style license and may be used in open-source, proprietary, or GPLed applications.
Latest release: The site lists version 1.3.48, released July 23, 2026, as the current release.
Support and maintenance: The project recommends updating to the current release because significant issues are addressed in almost every release.
