If you want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the web server in which you host it must have the proper software for this. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a website visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images through a script application. All of these things are possible with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which can be set up on a web server and that work with a lot of popular scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may use images with any web-based application that you'd like, no matter what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will permit you to work with more than a hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can execute any script application that requires GD Library or ImageMagick to generate graphs or use images, because both are installed and activated as standard on the cloud website hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are created. Even though you may get new PHP version for your account, you will not have to do anything in order to re-enable these libraries as they will be available all of the time. In this way, you'll have a number of options in respect to what features both you and your site visitors will be able to use, regardless if you're writing the site code yourself, you employ one of our pre-installed script applications or you download and install some app which you've found on the worldwide web. You will be able to employ all the popular formats for the photos which you upload.
