ImageMagick and GD are two of the most widely used graphic software libraries available. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a website doable, so they should be installed on a server if you host your internet sites on it and you would want to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are installed, you'll be able to edit any image in various ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etcetera. Of course, these changes are doable if the script application which you use on your website permits you to perform such things. The two libraries can easily be used with many website development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth., and support more than one hundred commonly used image formats that you'll be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many others.
