ImageMagick for AWS Lambda (v7.1.1-21)

Github Actions based process to compile ImageMagick utilities for AWS Lambda x86_64 instances powered by Amazon Linux 2.x, for the python3.7, python3.8, python3.9, nodejs12.x, nodejs14.x, nodejs16.x and the nodejs18.x lambda runtime.

Description for AWS Serverless Application Repository

Static build of ImageMagick 7.1.1-21 for Amazon Linux (from the AWS SAM team), packaged as a Lambda layer. Bundles ImageMagick including magick, convert, mogrify and identify tools (note: most of the imagemagick tooling is simply symbolic linked back to magick). Supports webp, jpeg, gif, png, tiff and webm formats (all included libraries current as of 2023-05-09).

Library Versions included in the layer

• IMAGEMAGICK_VERSION = 7.1.1-21 (imagemagick)
• LIBPNG_VERSION = 1.6.40 (libpng)
• LIBJPG_VERSION = 9e (libjpg)
• OPENJP2_VERSION = 2.5.0 (openjpeg)
• LIBTIFF_VERSION = 4.6.0 (libtiff)
• BZIP2_VERSION = 1.0.8 (bzip2)
• LIBWEBP_VERSION = 1.3.2 (libwebp)

Prerequisites

If you want to build this environment yourself, you will need:

• Docker
• Unix Make environment

Bundled libraries

This is not a full-blown ImageMagick setup you can expect on a regular Linux box, it's a slimmed down version to save space that works with the most common formats. You can add more formats by including another library into the build process in Makefile.

These libraries are currently bundled:

• libpng
• libjpg
• openjpeg
• libtiff
• libwebp

Deploying to AWS as a layer
