ImageMagick and GD Library
Find what ImageMagick is and what the GD Library is used for and why they're so popular.
ImageMagick and GD are two of the most frequently used graphic software libraries on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website feasible, so they should be present on a server if you host your sites on it and you prefer to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are set up, you will be able to edit any image in a variety of ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etcetera. Naturally, these tweaks are possible if the script app which you use on your website permits you to carry out such things. The 2 libraries can easily be used with various website development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera., and support over 100 widely used image formats which you'll be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and others.
