ImageMagick and GD Library
What's ImageMagick employed for? What is the GD Library? What is the reason for their worldwide popularity?
ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a web server for images to show up on a particular website. They permit you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can certainly 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 internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with lots of web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to one particular language to create your internet site. They work with over a hundred formats, which includes the most popular ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
