ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a hosting server for images to appear on a given website. They allow you to perform various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can be performed online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the website or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with a lot of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to just one language to build your website. They work with more than 100 formats, including the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
