ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a web server in order for images to appear on a particular internet site. They allow you to execute a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. 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 website or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with lots of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to one particular language to develop your site. They work with over one hundred formats, including the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
