ImageMagick and Alternatives

These image manipulation solutions are compatible with Web hosting and Cloud Servers:

1. ImageMagick : the main software suite for multi-purpose image manipulation via the command line
2. PerlMagick : Perl interface to integrate ImageMagick features into Perl scripts
3. Perl module Image::Magick : Perl extension to access ImageMagick features without specifying the absolute path of the executable
4. GD 2.x : Open-source graphic library offering features similar to ImageMagick, often used in web development contexts
5. Gallery 2 : image gallery management platform compatible with ImageMagick for online presentation

If necessary, the path for ImageMagick is standard since installed through the Debian repository:

/usr/bin

and for the Perl module Image::Magick:

/usr/local/bin/convert

or without specifying the absolute path:

$ perl -e 'use Image::Magick';

/usr/bin/compare
/usr/bin/composite
/usr/bin/conjure
