ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a web server to enable images to appear on a particular internet site. They allow you to carry out a variety of 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 instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution that the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with lots of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to only one language to build your site. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
