ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server for images to show up on a certain site. They permit you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with lots of web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to only one language to create your site. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
