ImageMagick and GD Library
What's ImageMagick employed for? What is the GD Library? What lies behind their global recognition?
ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most widely used graphic software libraries on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website possible, so they need to be set up on a web server if you host your websites on it and you prefer to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are present, you will be able to edit any image in many different ways - create thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etc. However, these tweaks are feasible if the script app which you employ on your site enables you to carry out such things. The two libraries can easily be used with many web development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, and so on., and support over one hundred widely used image formats which you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and more.
