ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a web server for images to appear on a particular site. They allow you to carry out different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things could be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up 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 various web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to just one language to develop your internet site. They work with over 100 formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
