ImageMagick and GD Library

ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server to enable images to show up on a given site. They permit you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things could be performed online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with many different web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to just one language to develop your site. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
