ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a web server to enable images to show up on a given site. They enable you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things could be done 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 internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with a lot of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to only one language to create your internet site. They work with over one hundred formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
