ImageMagick and GD Library
What's ImageMagick employed for? What exactly is the GD Library? What lies behind their worldwide popularity?
ImageMagick and GD are two of the most popular graphic software libraries available. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a site possible, so they need to be available on a server if you host your websites on it and you want to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are present, you shall be able to edit any image in a variety of ways - create thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etcetera. Of course, these changes are possible if the script application that you use on your internet site allows you to carry out such things. The two libraries can be used with a lot of web development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera., and support more than one hundred popular image formats that you shall be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many more.
