ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a web server to enable images to appear on a particular internet site. They enable you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things could be done online and in real time, so if you add 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 on the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with various web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to one particular language to create your website. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
