ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a server to enable images to appear on a certain site. They permit you to carry out 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 the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with lots of web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to just one language to develop your internet site. They work with over a hundred formats, which includes the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
