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