ImageMagick and Alternatives

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

1. ImageMagick: the main software suite for versatile image manipulation via the command line
2. PerlMagick: Perl interface to integrate ImageMagick features into Perl scripts
3. Perl Image::Magick Module: Perl extension to access ImageMagick features without specifying the absolute path of the executable
4. GD 2.x: open-source graphics library offering similar features 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 it is installed through the Debian repository:

/usr/bin

and for the Perl Image::Magick module:

/usr/local/bin/convert

or without specifying the absolute path:
 

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

All ImageMagick commands are under /usr/bin/:

/usr/bin/animate/usr/bin/compare/usr/bin/composite/usr/bin/conjure/usr/bin/convert/usr/bin/display/usr/bin/identify/usr/bin/import/usr/bin/mogrify/usr/bin/montage/usr/bin/stream
