ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a server in order for images to show up on a certain website. They permit you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so on. These things can easily be done 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 site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with many web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to only one language to build your website. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
