configuration option " php_ini"  is not set to php.ini location
You should add " /"  to php.ini

It doesn' t get over with this, you should also add extension=imagick.so in vim /etc/php.ini, that can be done with the help of the following command.

[root@linuxhelp ~]#  vim /etc/php.ini
extension=imagick.so

[root@linuxhelp ~]#  php -i | grep Imagick
imagick classes =>  Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator
Imagick compiled with ImageMagick version =>  ImageMagick 6.7.8-9 2016-06-16 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Imagick using ImageMagick library version =>  ImageMagick 6.7.8-9 2016-06-16 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

ImageMagick has been installed. Now you can check the functioning of the newly installed ImageMagik. Dispay the image you want to convert.

[root@linuxhelp Downloads]#display


The image of ImageMagick gets displayed on your screen.
Image

Now, get into the folder and start the conversion with the help of the commands highlighted below.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# cd /root/Downloads/
[root@linuxhelp Downloads]# ll
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16473 Nov  2 11:26 relax.jpg
[root@linuxhelp Downloads]# display relax.jpg


The image that is to be converted gets displayed on your screen.
jpg

You can now convert the format of the image.

[root@linuxhelp Downloads]# convert relax.jpg relax.png

Once the conversion is done, you can check if the conversion took place.

[root@linuxhelp Downloads]# ll
total 340
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  16473 Nov  2 11:26 relax.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 326026 Nov  2 11:41 relax.png

Also, you can check the image information for further clarification.

[root@linuxhelp Downloads]# display relax.png
