ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a hosting server to enable images to show up on a specific site. They allow you to perform different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can easily be performed online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution which the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with lots of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to one particular language to create your website. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
