ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a web server in order for images to appear on a certain internet site. They permit you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things could be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with a lot of 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 100 formats, which includes the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
