ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server in order for images to appear on a specific internet site. They enable you to carry out different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can be carried out online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the site or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution which the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with many different web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to one particular language to develop your website. They work with more than one hundred formats, which includes the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
