ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a web server for images to appear on a given internet site. They allow you to carry out different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can easily 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 show up on the site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with many different web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to one particular language to build your internet site. They work with more than a hundred formats, including the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
