ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a server to enable images to show up on a specific site. They allow you to carry out a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, and so forth. These things can easily be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website or for the image to be resized automatically depending upon the device and resolution that the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with many different web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to only one language to create your site. They work with more than a hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Cloud Website Hosting
Both ImageMagick and GD Library can be found and activated by default on our innovative cloud hosting platform, so your scripts will be able to use them whatever the cloud website hosting package that you select when you join us. This will allow you to build interactive sites without worrying about any sort of technical restrictions on our end. When you own a portfolio website, for example, you can have dynamically generated thumbnails of the images which show your work, while when you've got a social network or a similar website which engages the visitors in some way, you're able to provide them with a number of editing options for the pictures which they upload. You can also convert text to images, which provides you with quite a lot of opportunities regarding what content you can offer on the site.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every single semi-dedicated server plan that we provide includes ImageMagick and GD Library support as standard. The libraries will be enabled at all times even if you switch the PHP version that is in use by your account, therefore you will not have to re-enable anything manually in case you switch from PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8 to PHP 4 or vice versa. Provided the script app that you employ has built-in options to work with pictures and charts, it'll work perfectly on our servers, regardless if you've discovered it online, if it's a part of the script library that you're able to access from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel or if you created it from scratch. When you use our services, you're able to build multi-media image galleries, portfolio sites or feature-rich social network portals.
