Is it safe to use imagick with imagemagick?


Asked by Oakleigh Vasquez on Dec 05, 2021 FAQ



These recommendations do not guarantee any security, but they should limit your exposure to any Imagick/ImageMagick related security issue. ImageMagick has the ability to use the Open Multi-Processing API to be able to use multiple threads to process an image at once.
Likewise,
Here, ImageMagick is the software to create edit convert, and/or manipulate images with the help of Imagick PHP extension. We can use ImageMagick without Imagick. However, we need both Imagick and ImageMagick installed to run it within the PHP code. Now let’s see how our Support Engineers install Imagick.
In fact, When ImageMagick is not installed on our server, we will see “ImageMagick PHP module not found” warning on this plugin setting page. Before installing ImageMagick, ensure the proper PHP version for your web application. Depending on the PHP version installed, you will need a different ImageMagick installation.
Furthermore,
ImageMagick works fine without threads. However, a number of the ImageMagick language wrappers ... assume a threaded environment and their applications will crash and burn when they call ImageMagick methods from more than one thread of execution.
One may also ask,
ImageMagick is a free and open-source software that was created in 1987 by John Cristy to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write over 200 image formats, including PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, DPX, EXR, WebP, Postscript, PDF, and SVG.
