ImageMagick and GD are software libraries that need to be present on a hosting server in order for images to appear on a certain internet site. They allow you to execute a variety of tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things could be done online and in real time, so if you add a static image, for example, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website 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 employed with many different web programming languages such as PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not have to stick to only one language to build your internet site. They work with over 100 formats, including the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Shared Web Hosting
All of the Linux shared web hosting which we provide are generated on our cutting-edge 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 at any time. The libraries are accessible with all of the PHP versions that we provide as we support PHP 4 and a couple of versions of PHP 5. No matter if you employ a custom script, one of the applications that you will be able to install from the Hepsia Control Panel or some third-party app that you find online, you're able to build feature-rich interactive websites, including image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and the visitors will be able to work with graphs and images in real time as long as the script features such options.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to run every script application which requires GD Library or ImageMagick to generate graphs or work with images, since both are installed and activated as standard on the cloud hosting platform where all the semi-dedicated server accounts are created. Even though you may upgrade the PHP version for your account, you won't have to do anything in order to re-enable these libraries as they shall be available at all times. In this way, you have lots of alternatives in respect to what features you and your site visitors will be able to employ, regardless if you are writing the site code yourself, you use one of our pre-installed script applications or you download and set up some application which you've discovered on the worldwide web. You can employ all widespread formats for the photos that you upload.
