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 SourceForge Download page since SourceForge has lots of bandwidth, and many mirror sites. Snapshot packages should usually be retrieved from the GraphicsMagick FTP site.

The organization of the GraphicsMagick directory on ftp sites is shown in the following table:

Directory Description
GraphicsMagick FTP Contains the core GraphicsMagick sources in a file named similar to GraphicsMagick-1.2.tar.gz, or GraphicsMagick-1.2.tar.lzma These core sources are sufficient to compile a minimal GraphicsMagick on a Unix system (including MacOS-X), or under the Cygwin and 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.

Site Max Users Location Notes
SourceForge Download 1000 Fremont, CA USA HTTP download.
ftp.graphicsmagick.org 5 Dallas, Texas USA Master GraphicsMagick ftp site. This is a good site to mirror from. If you provide a public mirror of GraphicsMagick (and can provide a verifiable URL), please send an email to bfriesen@graphicsmagick.org for your mirror to be given priority access.

If you get the message:

530 User anonymous access denied.

it means the site has reached its limit of anonymous users. You will need to try another site or try again later.
