Source Image Maximum Filesize / Resolution

[adam.thornton]

Hello ImageMagick forum,

I have searched the board and google and cannot find an answer (or even a question) as to what the maximum filesize or resolution is when using ImageMagick.

I have a client that wants to be able to create banners using Imagick on a dedicated apache server which need to be actuall size, which are going to be huge.

Any sort of answer what be greatly apreciated.

It depends on your memory and disk caching limits. Note that if memory is too much IM will start using disk cache but will become VERY VERY slow, and should be avoided unless size matters more than time (lots of time).

ImageMagick can process images that are giga-pixels in size. We have personally converted images that are 250,000 by 250,000 pixels in size. However, images of that size can takes hours to process.
