ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a web server for images to show up on a specific internet site. They allow you to carry out different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can 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 show up on the site or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with various web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to a single language to build your site. They work with more than one hundred formats, which includes the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
