ImageMagick and GD Library
Learn what ImageMagick is and just what the GD Library can be used for and why they're so popular.
ImageMagick and GD are two of the most widespread graphic software libraries available on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website feasible, so they need to be installed on a web server if you host your websites on it and you want to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are installed, you will be able to edit any image in many different ways - create thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etc. Naturally, these tweaks are doable if the script app that you use on your site permits you to perform such things. The 2 libraries can be used with many programming languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera., and support over one hundred popular image formats that you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and others.
