ImageMagick and GD Library
Find out what ImageMagick is and what the GD Library is used for and why they're so popular.
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server to enable images to show up on a specific site. They permit you to carry out different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can 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 on the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with a lot of web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to just one language to build your internet site. They work with over 100 formats, which includes the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
