ImageMagick and GD Library
Discover what ImageMagick is as well as what the GD Library is used for and why they're so well liked.
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a web server for images to appear on a specific website. They permit you to perform various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things could be performed 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 with regards to the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with lots of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to just one language to create your site. They work with over a hundred formats, which includes the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
