ImageMagick and GD Library
Learn more about ImageMagick and GD Library to find out why they are now present on almost every single web server.
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server to enable images to appear on a specific internet site. They allow you to execute a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can easily 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 appear on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with many web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to only one language to develop your website. They work with more than 100 formats, including the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
