ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a hosting server for images to appear on a specific website. They permit you to perform different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things could be done online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the website or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution that the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with lots of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to one particular language to create your internet site. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
