ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server to enable images to appear on a specific internet site. They enable you to execute different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution which the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with many web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to only one language to build your website. They work with more than a hundred formats, including the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
