ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a web server in order for images to show up on a particular website. They permit you to execute different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can easily 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 show up on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution which the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with lots of web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to just one language to develop your website. They work with over a hundred formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
