ImageMagick Java API

Question

Is there any ImageMagick Java API ?

Answer 1

Yes. JMagick. It uses JNI.

By saying that it uses JNI, I am saying that it's not a pure 100% Java API. you still need ImageMagick's native (platform dependent) libraries.

There is also the possibility of using ImageMagick's command line utilities to interface it with a Java application. It's my preferred choice when using ImageMagick from a Java Web Application (you don't need any special Java API for that).

Answer 2

There's also im4java which uses the command-line approach. I'm using it in a project both on OSX and Linux (just for rescaling) - works like a charm.
