ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server in order for images to appear on a particular site. They allow you to perform a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can easily be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with various web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to a single language to develop your internet site. They work with over 100 formats, which includes the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
