Find out what ImageMagick is and just what the GD Library can be used for and why they're so widely common.

ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a server in order for images to show up on a given site. They permit you to perform different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can certainly be done online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for example, 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 which the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with many different web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to just one language to develop your internet site. They work with over a hundred formats, which includes the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
