ImageMagick and GD Library
What's ImageMagick used for? What is the GD Library? What lies behind their worldwide recognition?
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a hosting server for images to show up on a given website. They allow you to carry out different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things could 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 site or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with lots of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to one particular language to develop your website. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
