ImageMagick and GD Library
Discover what ImageMagick is as well as what the GD Library is used for and why they are so widely common.
If you would want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the server in which you host it should have the appropriate software for that. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images in accordance with the device a site visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images through a script app. All these things are feasible via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which can be set up on a server and which work with a wide range of widely used scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you may use images with any web-based app you'd like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will allow you to work with over one hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
