ImageMagick and GD Library
Learn more about ImageMagick and GD Library to find out why they're now present on almost every single server.
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a web server in order for images to show up on a particular website. They enable you to execute a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can 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 internet site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with various web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to one particular language to develop your internet site. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
