ImageMagick and GD Library
What's ImageMagick used for? What precisely is the GD Library? What lies behind their popularity?
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server to enable images to show up on a particular site. They enable you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things could 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 appear on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with various web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to a single language to build your site. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
