ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a hosting server for images to show up on a specific website. They permit you to carry out various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can certainly be done online and in real time, so if you add 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 upon the device and resolution which the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with a lot of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to one particular language to develop your internet site. They work with more than a hundred formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
