ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a server to enable images to show up on a given website. They enable you to execute various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can easily be carried out 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 site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution that the visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be used with many web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to just one language to build 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 Hosting
Both ImageMagick and GD Library can be found and activated by default on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform, so your scripts will be able to use them irrespective of the Linux hosting package that you select when you join us. This will allow you to set up interactive sites without having to worry about any sort of tech limitations on our end. When you have a portfolio site, for instance, you can have dynamically generated thumbnails of the images that show your work, while when you have a social network or a similar site which engages your guests in some way, you are able to provide them with a variety of editing options for the pictures that they upload. You can also convert text to images, that provides you with a number of opportunities with regards to what content you're able to offer on the website.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we provide comes with ImageMagick and GD Library support by default. The libraries will be enabled all of the time even if you upgrade the PHP version which is being used by your account, so you will not have to re-enable anything manually if you switch from PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8 to PHP 4 or vice versa. In case the script application that you employ has in-built options to use pictures and charts, it'll function flawlessly on our servers, regardless of whether you've acquired it online, if it is a part of the script library which you'll be able to access from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel or if you created it from scratch. When you use our services, you're able to generate multimedia image galleries, portfolio websites or feature-rich social network portals.
