It is a common source of security vulnerabilities. Also the API is has silly names, uses globals, not really nice, and not really FFI friendly (overcomplicated). Also requires global installation, cannot be deployed side by side with projects. For me it is a solid red flag for any project if they are using ImageMagick/GraphicsMagic. I don't let it near my computers.

  What do you use, then? Netpbm?

    Depends. libgd (has good API for FFI, van be side by side installed easily). ImageSharp (C#, very good, paid for commercial use). Sharp (JS). I use hugo's build in image tools. Sometimes a desktop app: Paint.Net. Affinity Photo. Whatever else suits my needs.
