ImageMagick and GD are two of the most popular graphic software libraries out there. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on an internet site feasible, so they must be present on a web server if you host your sites on it and you prefer to have something different than static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are installed, you will be able to edit any image in various ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, etc. Needless to say, these modifications are doable if the script application which you employ on your internet site enables you to carry out such things. The 2 libraries can easily be used with various website development languages - PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth., and support over one hundred popular image formats which you shall be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many others.
