If you would want to have dynamic images on your site, the web server in which you host it ought to have the appropriate software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a website visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images via a script app. All of these things are doable with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which may be set up on a web server and which work with a great number of widespread scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may use images with any web-based application that you would like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will enable you to work with more than 100 different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Hosting
Our tailor-made cloud server platform provides the perfect software setting for all your sites whatever the content that you'd like to have. Galleries and all other kinds of websites that employ images and graphs are not an exception as ImageMagick and GD Library are available with all the hosting plans that we supply. Your account will be created on our cloud platform and no matter which PHP version you would like to use (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), both the libraries will be enabled by default, not on demand. Given that the script app that you employ offers such features, you will be able to use images from the admin section, while the website visitors will be able to do that by using the front end of the website.
