First download this: https://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.7.0/php_imagick-3.7.0-8.0-ts-vs16-x64.zip

  1. Extract from php_imagick-….zip the php_imagick.dll file, and save it to the ext directory of your PHP installation
  2. Extract from php_imagick-….zip all the other DLL files and save them to the PHP root directory (where you have php.exe)
  3. Add this line to your php.ini file: extension=php_imagick.dll
  4. Restart the Apache/NGINX Windows service (if applicable)
