ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a hosting server to enable images to show up on a specific internet site. They allow you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. 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 site or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with many web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to one particular language to build your website. They work with more than 100 formats, which includes the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
