GraphicsMagick Download

The source distribution of GraphicsMagick as well as pre-compiled binaries are available at the sites listed here (unless otherwise noted). At the moment, the fastest way to obtain formal releases is from the GraphicsMagick SourceForge download page since SourceForge has lots of bandwidth, and many mirror sites. Snapshot packages should usually be retrieved from ftp.GraphicsMagick.org.

The organization of the GraphicsMagick directory on ftp sites (there is currently only one) is shown in the following table. Some of these directories do not yet exist since the packages are still under development:

  Directory | Description
  --- | ---
  GraphicsMagick (Top directory) | Contains the core GraphicsMagick sources in a file named similarly to GraphicsMagick-1.0.tar.gz, GraphicsMagick-1.0.tar.bz, or GraphicsMagick-1.0.zip. These core sources are sufficient to compile a minimal GraphicsMagick on a Unix system, or under the Cygwin and MinGW environments for Windows.
  beta | Beta versions of GraphicsMagick.
  binaries | Binary packages built by GraphicsMagick Group for various operating environments may be found here. Currently only Microsoft Windows binaries are available.
  delegates | Add on libraries and applications which extend the formats supported by GraphicsMagick may be obtained from this directory. Windows users can usually ignore the contents of this directory since all common delegates are included in the Windows source and binaries packages.
  linux | Linux packages for Red Hat Linux, and other Linux systems may be found here.
  mac | An extended source code package for MacOS 9 (including configured delegates and MetroWerks CodeWarrior build files) may be found here. Note: Use the Unix source package from the top directory for MacOS X.
  snapshots | Snapshots (between versions) copies of GraphicsMagick may sometimes be found here. New snapshots may be cut every few days as time permits.
  vms | A source package prepared for use with VMS may be found here.
  windows | An extended source code package for use with Microsoft Visual C++ (including configured delegates and a Visual C++ workspace) may be found here.

If you operate an GraphicsMagick mirror site, or know of additional mirrors of the GraphicsMagick archives, please send E-mail to Bob Friesenhahn so that they can be listed here. Known mirror sites are provided with privileged access to the master site so that they are not denied access when the default user limit has been reached.
