ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most popular graphic software libraries available on the market. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website possible, so they ought to be installed on a server if you host your websites on it and you prefer to have something different than static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are installed, you will be able to edit any image in many ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etcetera. However, these tweaks are possible if the script application which you use on your website enables you to carry out such things. The 2 libraries can be used with different website development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etc., and support more than one hundred widely used image formats that you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many others.
