How to start ImageMagick

Post by krausyao »

I downloaded the program and have a folder named ImageMagick-6.9.1-2. But I do not find an executable (.exe) file within this folder. How do I start the program? I am using Windows 7.

What, exactly, did you download? Perhaps the source code. Then you will need to compile it.

For Windows, I suggest you download a pre-built binary from http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... hp#windows . This will give you a file like ImageMagick-6.9.1-2-Q16-x64-dll.exe . This is an installation program. Run it, and it will install a program called convert.exe, and others.
