ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a server for images to show up on a given site. They permit you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things could 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 show up on the site or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution that the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with lots of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to only one language to build your internet site. They work with more than 100 formats, which includes the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
