sentences:  ImageMagick was created in 1987 by John Cristy when working at DuPont, to convert 24-bit images (16 million colors) to 8-bit images (256 colors), so they could be displayed on most screens.It was freely released in 1990 when DuPont agreed to transfer copyright to "ImageMagick Studio LLC", still currently the project maintainer organization.In May 2016, it was reported that ImageMagick had a vulnerability through which an attacker can execute arbitrary code on servers that use the application to edit user-uploaded images.
