ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server to enable images to appear on a particular website. They enable you to perform a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can easily be done online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with various web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to only one language to create your site. They work with over a hundred formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
