ImageMagick and GD Library
Learn what ImageMagick is and just what the GD Library is used for and why they are so popular.
If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the server in which you host it ought to have the correct software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images through a script application. All of these things are possible via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that can be installed on a server and that work with a wide range of popular scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you may use images with any web-based application that you'd like, regardless of the language it was developed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will allow you to work with more than a hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
