ImageMagick and GD Library
What is ImageMagick used for? What exactly is the GD Library? What is the reason for their popularity?
ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most widely used graphic software libraries out there. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on an internet site possible, so they need to be installed on a web server if you host your internet sites on it and you prefer to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are present, you'll be able to edit any image in many different ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etc. Naturally, these modifications are doable if the script app which you use on your internet site enables you to perform such things. The two libraries could be used with numerous web development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, and so on., and support over 100 frequently used image formats which you'll be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many more.

Our custom-made cloud server platform supplies the suitable software setting for your websites regardless of the content that you'd like to have. Galleries as well as all other types of websites that use images and graphs are not an exception since ImageMagick and GD Library are accessible with all of the Linux cloud hosting that we provide. Your account will be set up on the cloud platform and no matter which PHP version you wish to use (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), both the libraries will be enabled as standard, not on demand.
