ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most frequently used graphic software libraries available on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website feasible, so they need to be available on a web server if you host your websites on it and you would like to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are installed, you shall be able to edit any image in a variety of ways - create thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, and so forth. However, these adjustments are doable if the script application which you use on your site enables you to perform such things. The two libraries can be used with numerous web development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etc., and support more than a hundred frequently used image formats which you'll be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and others.
