ImageMagick and GD Library
Uncover what ImageMagick is and just what the GD Library is used for and why they're so well liked.
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server in order for images to appear on a specific internet site. They allow you to perform a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can certainly be carried out online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with a lot of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to a single language to build your internet site. They work with over 100 formats, including the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
