ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a web server for images to show up on a particular website. They permit you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can easily 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 based on the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with lots of web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to one particular language to build your site. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
