200 <h1>ImageMagick Convert Command-line Tool</h1>
201 <p class="navigation-index">[<a href="#usage">Example Usage</a> • <a href="#options">Option Summary</a>]</p>
203 <div class="doc-section">
204 <p>Use the <kbd>convert</kbd> program to convert between image formats as well as resize an image, blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much more. See <a href="../www/command-line-processing.html">Command Line Processing</a> for advice on how to structure your <kbd>convert</kbd> command or see below for example usages of the command.</p>
207 <h2><a id="usage"></a>Example Usage</h2>
208 <div class="doc-section">
210 <p>We list a few examples of the <kbd>convert</kbd> command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets convert an image in the JPEG format to PNG:</p>
212 <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose.jpg rose.png</span></p>
213 <p>Next, we reduce the image size before it is written to the PNG format:</p>
215 <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert rose.jpg -resize 50% rose.png</span></p>
217 <a href="../images/rose.jpg">
218 <img src="../images/rose.jpg" width="70" height="46" alt="rose" />
220 <img style="margin-top:13px; margin-bottom:13px;" src="../images/right.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="==>" />
221 <a href="../images/rose.png">
222 <img style="margin-top:11px; margin-bottom:12px;" src="../images/rose.png" width="35" height="23" alt="rose" />
226 <p>You can combine multiple image-processing operations to produce complex results:</p>
228 <p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>convert -size 320x85 xc:transparent -font Bookman-DemiItalic -pointsize 72 \ <br/>
229 -draw "text 25,60 'Magick'" -channel RGBA -blur 0x6 -fill darkred -stroke magenta \ <br/>
230 -draw "text 20,55 'Magick'" fuzzy-magick.png</span></p>
232 <a href="../images/fuzzy-magick.png"><img src="../images/fuzzy-magick.png" width="320" height="85" alt="fuzzy-magick" /></a>
235 <p>You can find additional examples of using <kbd>convert</kbd> in <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/">Examples of ImageMagick Usage</a>.</p>
239 <h2><a id="options"></a>Option Summary</h2>
240 <div class="doc-section">
