ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a web server to enable images to show up on a certain internet site. They permit you to perform various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can 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 which the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with a lot of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to one particular language to develop your internet site. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.

When you own a portfolio website, for instance, you can have dynamically generated thumbnails of the pictures that show your work, while in case you've got a social network or a similar site that engages the visitors in some way, you can offer them a variety of editing solutions for the photographs that they upload. You can also convert text to images, which provides you with a number of opportunities regarding what content you are able to offer on the website.
