ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a hosting server to enable images to show up on a certain website. They enable you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can certainly be carried out online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the website or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with various web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to only one language to develop your internet site. They work with more than 100 formats, which includes the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
