ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server to enable images to appear on a particular website. They permit you to perform different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things could be performed online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with a lot of web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to a single language to build your site. They work with more than a hundred formats, which includes the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
