ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that ought to be present on a web server for images to appear on a given site. They enable you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things could be done 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 internet site or for the image to be resized automatically depending on the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with lots of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to only one language to build your website. They work with over 100 formats, including the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
