ImageMagick and GD Library
What is ImageMagick employed for? What precisely is the GD Library? What lies behind their global popularity?
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a server to enable images to show up on a given website. They permit you to perform different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things could be performed online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with many different web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to one particular language to create your site. They work with over a hundred formats, including the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
