ImageMagick and GD Library
Uncover what ImageMagick is as well as what the GD Library is used for and why they are so popular.
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server in order for images to show up on a particular site. They allow you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things could be done online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with many web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to just one language to create your internet site. They work with over one hundred formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
