ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a server to enable images to show up on a specific site. They permit you to execute different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things could be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with various web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to one particular language to develop your website. They work with over 100 formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
