ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a hosting server for images to show up on a particular site. They allow you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can certainly be done online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution which the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with many web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to only one language to develop your internet site. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
