ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a web server in order for images to show up on a given internet site. They allow you to carry out different tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can be done online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, 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 the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with a lot of web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to one particular language to build your website. They work with more than a hundred formats, including the most widely used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so on.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Website Hosting
All of the Linux website hosting packages which we provide are created on our revolutionary cloud platform and due to the fact that both GD Library and ImageMagick are present on it, your script applications can use these software suites at any time. The libraries are accessible with all the PHP versions that we supply because we support PHP 4 and several versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. No matter if you employ a custom script, one of the apps which you can install from the Hepsia Control Panel or some third-party application that you find online, you will be able to build feature-rich interactive sites, like image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and your users can work with charts and images in real time provided that the script features such options.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to execute any kind of script app that requires GD Library or ImageMagick to create graphs or use images, as both are set up and enabled by default on the cloud web hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are created. Even if you get new PHP version for your account, you won't need to do anything in order to re-enable these libraries as they'll be accessible all of the time. Thus, you have a number of alternatives in respect to what functions both you and your site visitors can use, regardless if you're writing the site code yourself, you use one of our pre-installed script applications or you download and install some application which you've found on the Internet. You can take advantage of all of the popular formats for the images which you upload.
