ImageMagick and GD are two of the most popular graphic software libraries available on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a site doable, so they must be installed on a web server if you host your sites on it and you would want to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are set up, you'll be able to edit any image in various ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, and so forth. Of course, these changes are feasible if the script application which you use on your site allows you to perform such things. The two libraries can be used with many website development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etc., and support more than one hundred commonly used image formats that you'll be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many more.
