ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a web server for images to appear on a given internet site. They enable you to carry out various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things could be done 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 upon the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with a lot of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to one particular language to build your internet site. They work with more than 100 formats, which includes the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
