What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A Node.js library providing a wrapper around the GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick command-line binaries for image manipulation. It is officially unmaintained as of February 2025, with the author recommending direct binary execution via cross-spawn instead.
Use cases
- resize images in node.js
- convert image formats with imagemagick from node
- crop and thumbnail images in a node app
- identify image metadata in javascript
- compare images programmatically in node
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy node.js codebase already using gm
- you need the familiar gm chaining API and accept the unmaintained risk
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use cross-spawn with GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick binaries directly or a maintained alternative
- you need security patches or bug fixes
- you cannot install GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick system binaries
