ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a web server in order for images to show up on a specific internet site. They permit you to carry out various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things could 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 appear on the site or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution which the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with various web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to just one language to create your website. They work with more than a hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
