ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a hosting server to enable images to appear on a specific website. They allow you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can be carried out online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the website or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution which the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with many different web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to one particular language to develop your site. They work with over one hundred formats, including the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
