ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server to enable images to appear on a given website. They permit you to perform various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things can be carried out online and in real time, so if you include 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 with regards to the device and resolution the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with many different web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't have to stick to just one language to develop your site. They work with over one hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
