TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want to ensure their site uses the ImageMagick library for image processing. It solves the problem of WordPress defaulting to a different image library by forcing it to use ImageMagick instead, without altering how or when images are generated.
