ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that should be present on a hosting server in order for images to show up on a particular website. They enable you to perform different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can be performed online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the website or for the image to be resized automatically with regards to the device and resolution which the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with lots of web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to one particular language to create your website. They work with over 100 formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Shared Website Hosting
Our in-house made cloud server platform will provide the optimal software environment for all your sites regardless of the content that you would like to have. Galleries and any other kinds of sites that work with images and charts are not an exception as ImageMagick and GD Library can be found with all of the shared website hosting that we supply. Your account will be set up on our 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 always be enabled by default, not on demand. Provided that the script app which you are using offers such functions, you will be able to manage images from the admin section, while your website guests will be able to do this by using the front end of the site.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can execute any script app that requires GD Library or ImageMagick to generate graphs or work with images, since both are installed and activated by default on the cloud website hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are created. In case you change the PHP version for your account, you won't have to do anything in order to re-enable these libraries as they'll be available all the time. This way, you've got numerous options in respect to what features you and your website visitors will be able to use, regardless if you write the site code yourself, you employ one of our pre-installed script apps or you download and set up some app which you have found on the Internet. You'll be able to employ all the sought-after formats for the photos which you upload.
