ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a web server for images to appear on a particular website. They enable you to perform a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can 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 show up on the site or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with many web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to only one language to create your website. They work with more than 100 formats, which includes the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
