# ImageMagick Image Formats

## Introducing Image Formats

ImageMagick uses an ASCII string known as magick (e.g. `GIF`) to identify file formats, algorithms acting as formats, built-in patterns, and embedded profile types.

Support for some of the formats are delegated to libraries or external programs. The Installation Guide describes where to find these distributions and any special configuration options required.

To get a complete listing of which image formats are supported on your system, type

$magick> identify -list format

On some platforms, ImageMagick automagically processes these extensions: .gz for Zip compression, .Z for Unix compression, .bz2 for block compression, and .pgp for PGP encryption. For example, a PNM image called image.pnm.gz is automagically uncompressed.

Set the sampling factor with -define jpeg:sampling-factor. You can size the image with `jpeg:size`, for example -define jpeg:size=128x128. Finally, to restrict the maximum file size, use `jpeg:extent`, for example -define jpeg:extent=400kb.
MAN | R | Unix reference manual pages | Requires that GNU groff and Ghostcript are installed.
MAT | R | MATLAB image format |
MIFF | RW | Magick image file format | This format persists all image attributes known to ImageMagick.

MPEG | RW | Motion Picture Experts Group file interchange format (version 1) | Requires mpeg2vidcodec_v12.tar.gz.
MPC | RW | Magick Persistent Cache image file format | The native in-memory ImageMagick uncompressed file format. This file format is identical to that used by ImageMagick to represent images in memory and is read by mapping the file directly into memory. The MPC format is not portable and is not suitable as an archive format. It is suitable as an intermediate format for high-performance image processing. The MPC format requires two files to support one image. Image attributes are written to a file with the extension `.mpc`, whereas, image pixels are written to a file with the extension `.cache`.
MPR | RW | Magick Persistent Registry | This format permits you to write to and read images from memory. The image persists until the program exits. For example, let's use the MPR to create a checkerboard:
    convert \( -size 15x15 xc:black xc:white -append \) \
      \( +clone -flip \) +append -write mpr:checkers +delete \
      -size 240x240 tile:mpr:checkers board.png

Some PDF files, however, have a CropBox or TrimBox that is smaller than the MediaBox and may include white space, registration or cutting marks outside the CropBox or TrimBox. To force ImageMagick to use the CropBox or TrimBox rather than the MediaBox, use -define (e.g. `-define pdf:use-cropbox=true` or `-define pdf:use-trimbox=true`). Use -density to improve the appearance of your PDF rendering (e.g. -density 300x300).

PNG32 | RW | Portable Network Graphics | opaque or transparent 32-bit RGBA
PNM | RW | Portable anymap | PNM is a family of formats supporting portable bitmaps (PBM) , graymaps (PGM), and pixmaps (PPM). There is no file format associated with pnm itself. If PNM is used as the output format specifier, then ImageMagick automagically selects the most appropriate format to represent the image. The default is to write the binary version of the formats. Use -compress none to write the ASCII version of the formats.
PPM | RW | Portable pixmap format (color) |
PS | RW | Adobe PostScript file | Requires Ghostscript to read. To force ImageMagick to respect the crop box, use -define (e.g. `-define ps:use-cropbox=true`). Use -density to improve the appearance of your Postscript rendering (e.g. -density 300x300).

Tag | Mode | Description | Notes
--- | --- | --- | ---
CANVAS | R | Canvas image of specified color | Useful to create solid color canvas images. Use -size and -depth to specify the image width, height, and depth. Example canvas color specifications include `canvas:red` and `canvas:#FF0000`. If no color is specified a '`white`' canvas image is generated. If no -size is specified a single pixel image of the specified color is generated.

HALD | R | Identity Hald CLUT Image | Select order with filename, e.g. hald:5 for order 5.
HISTOGRAM | W | Histogram of the image | The histogram includes the unique colors of the image as an image comment. If you have no need for the unique color list, use `-define histogram:unique-colors=false` to forego this expensive operation.
LABEL | R | Text image format | Specify the desired text as the filename (e.g. `label:"This a label"`).
MAP | RW | Colormap intensities and indices | Set -depth to set the sample size of the intensities; indices are 16-bit if colors > 256.

X | RW | Select image from or display image to your X server screen | Also see the import and display programs.
XC | R | Canvas image of specified color | An backward compatible alias for the '`canvas:`' psuedo-file format, used to create a solid color canvas image.

## Built-in Images

ImageMagick includes a number of built-in (embedded) images which may be referenced as if they were an image file. The `magick:` format tag may be used via the syntax `magick:` name to request an embedded image (e.g. `magick:logo`). For backwards compatibility, the image specifications `GRANITE:`, `LOGO:`, `NETSCAPE:`, and `ROSE:` may also be used to request images with those names.

Tag | Mode | Description | Notes
--- | --- | --- | ---
GRANITE | R | 128x128 granite texture pattern |
LOGO | R | ImageMagick Logo, 640x480 |
NETSCAPE | R | image using colors in Netscape 216 (6x6x6 ) color cube, 216x144 | Most commonly used with the convert and mogrify programs with the -map option to create web safe images.
