Questions the author answers
What difference does it make?
ImageMagick can result in huge improvements in the quality of re-sized images.
Take a look at the supplied screenshot, or try it yourself.
Note that the new images tend to be slightly larger than those of the standard GD library, especially if you specify a very high image quality (95+).
How do I know if I have ImageMagick installed?
If you have the PHP module installed the plugin will find it. You can check yourself using the phpinfo() function. We also automatically check a common location for the ImageMagick executable.
If you have shell access to a Linux/UNIX server you can use “which convert” to look for the ImageMagick executable.
How do I install ImageMagick?
You’ll need full access to your server and a bit of technical know-how. If you do not have access you’ll have to ask the server administrator.
Don’t do it yourself unless you know what you are doing.
Most Linux distributions have a package for “ImageMagick”. Some have a package for “php5-imagick”. It is possible to install the PHP module using PEAR.
Latest changelog entry
- Rebuilt the settings page: tabbed layout, engine status cards, and native WordPress form controls, buttons and progress bar that follow your admin colour scheme
- Image regeneration now runs in adaptive batches, survives a page reload, and can be cancelled and resumed
- Regeneration reports which images failed instead of stopping at a browser alert
- Removed jQuery and jQuery UI from the admin page
- Fixed the media page regenerate button submitting image sizes that were set to None
Screenshots
Settings: choose an image engine, see which ones your server actually has, and set how each image size is generated. 
Regenerating existing images in adaptive batches, with progress, a time estimate and a cancel button.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
