I’m doing it to image uploads to prevent any embedded malicious code. Am I right in doing this?
But yeah my main question is how to actually do it, because I’ve never used ImageMagick before – I’ve just installed it on my server.

There is no way any code in images should be able to execute itself on your server. Unless you actually parse images for code on request (never do that), you’re far better & efficient off just serving the images (do not
include()them in any code of course), just add them to the browser), and let virus-scanning software scan newly uploaded images in the background, with clamav for instance.
