ImageMagick

by



ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in many image formats including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image or image sequence.

  1. ImageMagick uses Ghostscript to render Postscript and PDF files, as well as formats where a translator to Postscript is available. ImageMagick will also use the fonts delivered with Ghostscript to support the standard set of Postscript fonts. The installation package includes the ImageMagick.
  2. Imagick::getVersion — Returns the ImageMagick API version Imagick::haldClutImage — Replaces colors in the image Imagick::hasNextImage — Checks if the object has more images.

In the examples shown, replace 'X.Y' with your app's PHP version (for example, '5.4' or '7.0'). To install a PECL extension for multiple PHP versions, repeat the PECL extension installation for each PHP version.
If your app requires the ImageMagick command line interface rather than the ImageMagick PHP extension, see the article on installing the ImageMagick executables.

ServerPilot cannot provide support for customizations. We always recommend avoiding customizations unless you absolutely need to customize your server. Customizations increase complexity, and complexity often leads to downtime and vulnerabilities.

The ImageMagick extension supports PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4.

Imagick: The PHP ImageMagick Extension

The ImageMagick extension, called Imagick when referring to the PHP extension, is a native PHP extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API.

Using Imagick with PDF Files

Imagemagick
ImageMagick was not designed to securely handle untrusted PDF files. Enabling PDF file handling as shown below is dangerous if any malicious PDF files are ever processed.
Additionally, attempting to work around ImageMagick's PDF security issues by using Ghostscript directly is also dangerous as Ghostscript is also vulnerable to exploitation when processing malicious PDF files.

In order to allow ImageMagick to process PDF files, you must SSH into your server as root and edit the following file:

Locate the line:

Comment out this line by replacing it with the following:

Finally, restart PHP:
