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 is shown in the following table:

  Directory | Description
  --- | ---
  GraphicsMagick (Top directory) | Contains the core GraphicsMagick sources in a file named similar to GraphicsMagick-1.2.tar.gz, GraphicsMagick-1.2.tar.bz, or GraphicsMagick-1.2.zip. These core sources are sufficient to compile a minimal GraphicsMagick on a Unix system (including MacOS-X), or under the Cygwin and MinGW environments for Windows.
  beta | Beta versions of GraphicsMagick.
  delegates | Add on third-party 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 source RPM (SRPM) packages for Red Hat Linux, other Linux systems, or any system with RPM installed, may be found here.
  snapshots | Snapshots (between releases) copies of GraphicsMagick may be found here. New snapshots may be cut every few days as time permits. Quality may vary.
  windows | Installable binary packages and the 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.
