ImageMagick and GD Library
Learn more about ImageMagick and GD Library to find out why they are currently present on almost every web server.
ImageMagick and GD are two of the most widely used graphic software libraries available. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website doable, so they should be present on a web server if you host your internet sites on it and you would want to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are present, you'll be able to edit any image in many different ways - create thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, and so forth. However, these tweaks are feasible if the script app which you use on your internet site allows you to carry out such things. The two libraries could be used with different programming languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etc., and support over 100 commonly used image formats that you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many more.
