I know this is old post but I spend my all day to make it work, so here are the steps that helped me:

  1. Download ImageMagick Binary Release – http://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php
  2. Install in C:\imagemagick, on last step check “Add application directory to your system path
  3. Download Imagick DLL: PHP5.6.x version from http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/ (I have 5.6+ version installed on my localhost
  4. Copy php_imagick.dll to C:\wamp\bin\php\ext
  5. Download PHP 5.6 Thread Safe (TS) x86 version from http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.1.2/windows
  6. Copy CORE_RL_* files to C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\
  7. Edit php.ini file in C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\php.ini, add extension=php_imagick.dll line in extensions section
  8. Copy all files from C:\imagemagick\modules\coders and C:\imagemagick\modules\filters to C:\imagemagick to load ImageMagick supported formats
  9. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables -> New System Variable -> MAGICK_HOME = C:\imagemagick
  10. Restart Wamp server and check phpinfo() for imagick plugin
