ImageMagick and GD Library
Learn what ImageMagick is and just what the GD Library is utilized for and why they are so widely common.
ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most popular graphic software libraries out there. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a site feasible, so they must be set up on a web server if you host your internet sites on it and you would like to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are set up, you will be able to edit any image in a variety of ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etcetera. Needless to say, these adjustments are possible if the script app that you employ on your site enables you to carry out such things. The 2 libraries can be used with numerous web development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etc., and support more than a hundred frequently used image formats that you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and others.
