ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a hosting server to enable images to appear on a specific internet site. They allow you to carry out various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etc. These things could 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 appear on the site or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution the site visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD can be employed with various web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you do not need to stick to one particular language to develop your site. They work with more than one hundred formats, which includes the most frequently used ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and so forth.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Shared Hosting

All shared hosting that we supply are set up on our modern cloud platform and since both GD Library and ImageMagick are present on it, your script apps can use these software suites any time. The libraries are accessible with all PHP versions that we provide because we support PHP 4 and a couple of versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. No matter if you use a custom script, one of the apps that you'll be able to install from the Hepsia Control Panel or some third-party application that you find on the web, you'll be able to build feature-rich multimedia websites, including image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and the visitors will be able to work with graphs as well as images in real time provided the script has such options.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can execute any script app that requires GD Library or ImageMagick to create graphs or use images, because both are installed and activated by default on the cloud website hosting platform where all of the semi-dedicated server accounts are created. In case you get new PHP version for your account, you will not need to do anything to re-enable these libraries as they will be accessible all the time. Thus, you'll have a lot of options in respect to what features both you and your site visitors shall be able to employ, regardless of whether you are writing the website code yourself, you use one of our pre-installed script apps or you download and install some app which you have discovered online. You are able to employ all popular formats for the pictures which you upload.
