About ImageMagik

ImageMagick is an open source software suite for displaying, converting, and editing raster image files. It can read and write over 100 image file formats. ImageMagick is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Use the convert 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.

Eg. $magik>convert  hello.jpg hello.png

This command will convert file hello from jpg format to png format.

We use convert.exe file to execute the conversion from a java path using Runtime.exe or ProcessBuilder:

1.Using Runtime :
 Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("E:/ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16/convert.exe E:/ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16/logo.jpg E:/ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16/logo.gif");

or

2.Using Processbuilder :
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("E:/ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16/convert.exe", "E:/ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16/logo.jpg", "E:/ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16/logo.gif");
Process start = pb.start();

Here , "E:/ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16/' is the location of the ImageMagik directory.Location of images can be anything.
