Wand is a Python binding of ImageMagick, so you have to install it as well. Debian/Ubuntu; Fedora/CentOS; Mac; Windows; Explicitly link to specific ImageMagick; Or you can simply install Wand and its entire dependencies using the package manager of your system (it’s way convenient but the version might be outdated). I wanted to convert images using ImageMagick without installing in Mac OS. For example, In Windows, Visual studio supports ImageMagick dll to convert images. The same need for Mac OS. Any idea how to proceed this. ImageMagick utilizes multiple computational threads to increase performance and can read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes. The current release is ImageMagick 7.0.10-31. It runs on Linux, Windows, Mac Os X, iOS, Android OS, and others. The authoritative ImageMagick web site is https://imagemagick.org. ImageMagick is a set of UNIX tools that can be used to read, write, and manipulate images in almost any format including TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. The advantage of ImageMagick is that it can be used to create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web apps. In addition, you can resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce and add special effects to an image with ImageMagick. ImageMagick is cross-platform, and runs on Microsoft Windows and Unix-like systems including Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, Solaris, and FreeBSD. The project's source code can be compiled for other systems, including AmigaOS 4.0 and MorphOS. It has been run under IRIX.
Or you can simply install Wand and its entire dependencies using the packagemanager of your system (it’s way convenient but the version might be outdated):
Install ImageMagick on Debian/Ubuntu¶
If you’re using Linux distributions based on Debian like Ubuntu, it can beeasily installed using APT:
Install ImageMagick on Fedora/CentOS¶
If you’re using Linux distributions based on Redhat like Fedora or CentOS,it can be installed using Yum:
Install ImageMagick on Mac¶
You need one of Homebrew or MacPorts to install ImageMagick.
If your Python in not installed using MacPorts, you have to export
MAGICK_HOME
path as well. Because Python that is not installedusing MacPorts doesn’t look up /opt/local
, the default path prefixof MacPorts packages.Install ImageMagick on Windows¶
You could build ImageMagick by yourself, but it requires a build tool chainlike Visual Studio to compile it. The easiest way is simply downloadinga prebuilt binary of ImageMagick for your architecture (
win32
orwin64
).You can download it from the following link:
Choose a binary for your architecture:
- Windows 32-bit
- ImageMagick-7.0.x-x-Q16-x86-dll.exe
- Windows 64-bit
- ImageMagick-7.0.x-x-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe
Note
Double check your Python runtime, and ensure the architectures match.A 32-bit Python runtime can not load a 64-bit dynamic library.
Note that you have to check Install development headers andlibraries for C and C++ to make Wand able to link to it.
Lastly you have to set
MAGICK_HOME
environment variable to the pathof ImageMagick (e.g. C:ProgramFilesImageMagick-6.9.3-Q16
).You can set it in Computer ‣ Properties ‣Advanced system settings ‣ Advanced ‣ Environment Variables….Explicitly link to specific ImageMagick¶
Although Wand tries searching operating system’s standard library paths fora ImageMagick installation, sometimes you need to explicitly specifythe path of ImageMagick installation.
In that case, you can give the path to Wand by setting
MAGICK_HOME
.Wand respects MAGICK_HOME
, the environment variable which has beenreserved by ImageMagick.Explicitly define ImageMagick library suffix¶
Wand will attempt to load all popular combinations of ImageMagick’s sharedlibrary suffixes. By default, the library suffix would follow apattern similar to:
If you have compiled ImageMagick with custom suffixes, you can tellthe Wand module how to search for it by setting
MAGICK_HOME
, likeabove, and WAND_MAGICK_LIBRARY_SUFFIX
environment variables.The
WAND_MAGICK_LIBRARY_SUFFIX
would be a semicolon delimited listInstall Wand on Debian/Ubuntu¶
Wand itself is already packaged in Debian/Ubuntu APT repository: python-wand.You can install it using apt-get command:
Install Wand on Fedora¶
Wand itself is already packaged in Fedora package DB: python-wand.You can install it using dnf command:
Install Wand on FreeBSD¶
Wand itself is already packaged in FreeBSD ports collection: py-wand.You can install it using pkg_add command:
Install Wand on Alpine¶
Wand can be installed on Alpine Linux with pip, but due to thesecurity nature of Alpine,
MAGICK_HOME
must be defined before runningany Wand applications.You may need to create a couple symbolic links for the ImageMagick libraries.
Unix Binary Release • Mac OS X Binary Release • iOS Binary Release • Windows Binary Release
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.
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 |
---|---|

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:Version | Description |

subdirectory of the extracted package is not already in your executable search path, add it to your PATH
environment variable. For example:Set the
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable:Finally, to verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following on the command line:
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
Imagemagick For Mac Catalina
Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Mac OS X 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.
iOS Binary Release
~Claudio provides iOS builds of ImageMagick.
Download iOS Distribution
![Imagemagick linux Imagemagick linux](/uploads/1/2/7/7/127734157/487153104.png)
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.: 6.9.11-34, 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.
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-6.9.11-34-Q16-HDRI-x64-dll.exe | Win64 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel component |
Or choose from these alternate Windows binary distributions:
