'''GraphicsMagick''' is a [[fork (software development)|fork]] of [[ImageMagick]], emphasizing stability of both programming [[API]] and command-line options. It was branched off ImageMagick's version 5.5.2 in 2002 after irreconcilable differences emerged in the developers' group.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://marc.info/?l=imagemagick-developer&m=104777007831767&w=2 |title=imagemagick-developer mailing list: "Introducing GraphicsMagick Project", 15 March 2003 |access-date=12 November 2009 |archive-date=23 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210623194614/https://marc.info/?l=imagemagick-developer&m=104777007831767&w=2 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In addition to the [[programming language]] APIs available with ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick also includes a [[Tcl]] API, called TclMagick.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Emms |first=Steve |date=2023-11-05 |title=GraphicsMagick - Image Processing System |url=https://www.linuxlinks.com/graphicsmagick-image-processing-system/ |access-date=2023-11-09 |website=LinuxLinks |language=en-GB |archive-date=2023-11-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231109135745/https://www.linuxlinks.com/graphicsmagick-image-processing-system/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
