ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most widely used graphic software libraries available on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on an internet site possible, so they need to be installed on a server if you host your websites on it and you want to have something different than static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are present, you shall be able to edit any image in various ways - create thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etcetera. However, these changes are feasible if the script app that you employ on your internet site permits you to carry out such things. The two libraries can easily be used with different programming languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etc., and support over one hundred widely used image formats that you'll be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and more.
