ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a server for images to appear on a certain website. They enable you to execute different 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 add a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to show up on the internet site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution that the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be used with various web programming languages like PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to a single language to develop your website. They work with more than a hundred formats, which includes the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Website Hosting
All of the Linux website hosting that we offer are set up on our modern cloud platform and due to the fact that both GD Library and ImageMagick are installed on it, your script applications will be able to use these software suites any time. The libraries can be found with all of the PHP versions that we provide since we support PHP 4 and multiple versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. No matter if you use a custom-made script, one of the applications that you can install through the Hepsia Control Panel or a third-party app that you find on the Internet, you'll be able to build feature-rich interactive sites, like image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and your visitors can work with charts and images in real time provided that the script features such functionality.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every single semi-dedicated server plan that we offer features ImageMagick and GD Library support as standard. The libraries will be enabled all of the time even if you upgrade the PHP version which is being used by your account, therefore you will not need 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 inbuilt options to use images and graphs, it will function perfectly on our servers, regardless if you've acquired it online, if it's part of the script library that you're able to access from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel or if you wrote it on your own. With our services, you will be able to generate multimedia image galleries, portfolio sites or feature-rich social network portals.
