Description
Legacy PHP 8.0 applications can create, transform, and inspect images through ImageMagick. This runtime extension is used by CMS media pipelines, upload workflows, thumbnailers, converters, and tools that need broader format support than GD. It is dependency-only and has no separate launcher; PHP code calls Imagick classes when enabled. ImageMagick can process complex files and delegate formats, so uploaded images need size limits, policy controls, trusted paths, and careful handling of remote or scripted formats.
