# Using ImageMagick

> Discover how to use ImageMagick, a command-line suite for image manipulation in Linux, with this concise guide.

This article discusses how to use ImageMagick. ImageMagick is a complete suite of command-line programs for manipulating image files.

## Using ImageMagick

ImageMagick is installed on all hosting.com shared servers, and includes the following programs:

* convert

* identify

* mogrify

* composite

* montage

* compare

* stream

* conjure

The full path to the ImageMagick binaries is **/usr/bin** or **/usr/local/bin**, depending on your server. On some servers, however, ImageMagick is installed in both locations. To determine which version is the most recent, you can type the following commands:

```bash theme={null}
/usr/bin/convert -version
/usr/local/bin/convert -version
```

<Note>
  There is also an [ImageMagick PHP extension](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php) that you can use to manipulate image files within PHP. For information about how to enable PHP extensions in cPanel, please see [this article](/docs/changing-php-versions-and-settings-in-cpanel).
