Steps I've taken so far:
Fatal error: Class 'Imagick' not found
error when I try to run a script that uses Imagick.Current Versions:
I was running an older version of PHP and had Imagick working fine with that, then I updated PHP (and the Imagick DLLs along with it) and now I can't seem to get it to work.
Looking at phpinfo( )
, I don't see Imagick listed there, so it doesn't seem to be loading the module at all. Which is weird, because I'm not getting any errors when starting Apache.
I've tried just about every write-up and walkthrough for installing Imagick for PHP on Windows, but they seem to all be written for older versions of PHP.
Can somebody help me get this installed and running? It seems like it's just missing one simple step that I can't seem to figure out. If you need any more info, please ask. I'll get you whatever I can to help.
EDIT: This procedure works with Windows 7 - 10 and all versions of PHP as well.
Unofficial sites may be discontinued or later be altered to contain malicious code instead. Please use caution when using any recommended links or mirrors other than the official ImageMagick, PECL, or PHP sites provided in comments or other answers.
I was unable to get Imagick Working with PHP using an older release of ImageMagick as in the originally accepted answer and it was difficult to find mirrors with the exact safe binaries needed (the binaries on the mirror in the originally accepted answer downloaded as different versions than listed)
In all of the steps below, be sure to match your PHP architecture (x86/x64 and NTS/TS) to the binary's architecture. If you are using PHP x86 - replace the x64 version of the downloads with the x86 (or 32bit) version. The same applies to Thread-Safe (TS) and Non-Thread-Safe (NTS) versions of PHP.

phpinfo();
to ensure the module is installed correctly Note the highlighted ImageMagick version (ImageMagick 6.9.1-2 Q16 x64)
and the missing supported formatsD:\php5.6\bin
from https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php - Ensure that the Add Path to Environment Variables
option is checked or manually add it convert --version
displays the correct version CORE_RL_*.dll
files in D:\php5.6
(they will be loaded via ImageMagick path - otherwise your PHP installation may become unstable with the PECL dlls)phpinfo();
to ensure the module is still installed correctly and is now loading the Imagick supported formats D:\php5.6\bin
to be able to convert PDFs to images from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ be sure to match the architecture for your installationI did not need to add MAGICK_HOME
for Imagick to work using the PHP Built-In Web Server or CGI, but may be required for Apache using mod_php
. See the Special Considerations section below for additional details.
You can alternatively download the required ImageMagick version dependencies and extract the exe
and dll
files from within the bin
directory directly into your D:\php5.6
directory.
The dependencies can be found on PECL website http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/
Using the PECL dependencies removes the need to directly download and run the matching ImageMagick version installer from the vendor's website.
With the PECL dependencies method there were issues with excluded files needed for PDF conversions using GhostScript.
Be sure the user running PHP has permission to execute convert
. This should be inherited via D:\php5.6\bin
but in case you chose to install to C:\Program Files
. you may have issues due to its restricted permissions.
Be sure to rearrange your PATH
System Environment Variable so that %SystemRoot%\system32\convert.exe
does not override the D:\php5.6\bin\convert.exe
.
By adding your PHP path to the left of system32, like so: PATH: D:\php5.6\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;...
This will force your system to look for executable files within D:\php5.6\bin
prior to %SystemRoot%\system32
Replace D:\php5.6\bin\convert.exe
with the path to where you installed ImageMagick or the path to where convert.exe
is located
