ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a server in order for images to show up on a certain site. They enable you to perform a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can easily be performed 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 internet site or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution the website 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 only one language to develop your internet site. They work with over a hundred formats, including the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
