ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server in order for images to show up on a certain website. They permit you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can certainly 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 website or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with various web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to only one language to create your website. They work with more than a hundred formats, including the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Shared Website Hosting
All the shared website hosting plans that we offer are created on our revolutionary cloud platform and due to the fact that both GD Library and ImageMagick are installed on it, your script apps can use these software suites any time. The libraries are accessible with all PHP versions that we provide since we support PHP 4 and a couple of versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. No matter if you work with a custom-made script, one of the apps that you're able to install through the Hepsia Control Panel or a third-party application that you find online, you are able to build feature-rich multi-media sites, like image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and the users can work with graphs and / or images in real time provided the script offers such functionality.
