ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most frequently used graphic software libraries available. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a site doable, so they need to be available on a web server if you host your sites on it and you would like to have something different than static images with fixed dimensions.

However, these modifications are feasible if the script application that you use on your internet site allows you to carry out such things. The two libraries can easily be used with different programming languages - PHP, Python, Perl, etcetera., and support more than 100 frequently used image formats that you will be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many more.
