ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a hosting server in order for images to appear on a certain internet site. They enable you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. 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 site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with a lot of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to a single language to build your site. They work with more than a hundred formats, which includes the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
