# GraphicsMagick Utilities
GraphicsMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in any of the more popular image formats including GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, and Photo CD. With GraphicsMagick you can create GIFs dynamically making it suitable for Web applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save your completed work in the same or differing image format.

GraphicsMagick provides a powerful command line utility gm, which may be used to access all GraphicsMagick functions. Gm uses a consistent set of options (see options documentation). GraphicsMagick provides access to major commands via a single executable command-line program; for example, to use the "convert" sub-command, type gm convert .... The available commands are as follows:

animate | Animate a sequence of images
batch | Executes an arbitrary number of utility commands
benchmark | Measure and report utility command performance.
compare | Compare two images using statistics and/or visual differencing
composite | Composite images together
conjure | Execute a Magick Scripting Language (MSL) XML script
