On some platforms, ImageMagick automatically processes these extensions: .gz6for Zip compression, .Z for Unix compression,.bz2 forGblock compression, and .pgp for PGP encryption. For example, aIPNM image called image.pnm.gz is automatically uncompressed with=the gzip program and the image is subsequently read.
