====== Configuration Setting: im convert ======

By default DokuWiki uses PHP's libGD (see [[gdlib]] option) however ImageMagick's [[http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php|convert]] is more powerful but not always available. If it is installed on your server you can give its path here and DokuWiki will use it instead of libGD.

  * Type: String
  * Default:

If you don't know what to put here, ask your provider. It's often even documented in the provider's FAQs. Common paths are ''/usr/bin/convert'' or ''/usr/local/bin/convert'' on Linux servers, and on Windows ''C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.3-Q16\convert.exe'' or ''C:\software\imagick\convert.exe''.

Be carefull when using ImageMagick with many or large files (i.e. when using [[plugin:gallery|Gallery Plugin]]). This can generate a high load or even freeze the server. In comparison, libGD is limited to PHP's performance settings and should be safe to use.
