ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a hosting server to enable images to appear on a specific site. They permit you to perform various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can certainly be carried out online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution which the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with a lot of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to a single language to build your internet site. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
