ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a hosting server for images to appear on a given internet site. They allow you to execute different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can easily 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 appear on the site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with various web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to only one language to build your website. They work with more than a hundred formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
