ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a hosting server in order for images to show up on a particular internet site. They permit you to perform different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can certainly be carried out online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the website or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with a lot of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to one particular language to create your website. They work with over 100 formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
