ImageMagick and GD are two of the most widespread graphic software libraries nowadays. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website feasible, so they need to be installed on a web server if you host your websites on it and you would like to have something different than static images with fixed dimensions.

The 2 libraries can be used with many website development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth., and support over 100 popular image formats which you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many more.
