## 'ImageMagick required'

Since version 0.3.0, you can choose the format that you want to convert to. For example, if you pick a PNG file, you can convert it to JPEG and compress it with MozJPEG optimizer.

But there is an exception: pngquant on windows can't read JPEG files, so if you want to convert JPEG to PNG, you should install ImageMagick firstly, and add it to your PATH environment variable.

Imagine use this command below to check if ImageMagick installed, so make sure it work.

```bash
magick -version
```
