ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server to enable images to appear on a given internet site. They permit you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can be performed 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 on the device and resolution the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with lots of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to just one language to build your internet site. They work with over one hundred formats, including the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
