If you would want to have dynamic images on your website, the web server where you host it must have the suitable software for that. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a website visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script application. All these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which can be installed on a web server and that work with a lot of widely used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you could use images with any web-based application that you'd like, no matter what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries shall allow you to work with over one hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.

The libraries are accessible with all of the PHP versions that we offer since we support PHP 4 and multiple versions of PHP 5. No matter if you work with a tailor-made script, one of the apps which you're able to install from the Hepsia Control Panel or a third-party application that you find online, you're able to build feature-rich multi-media websites, for instance image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and your users can work with charts and images in real time provided the script has such options.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you are a web developer, you'll be able to write the program code yourself since we also support a lot of programming languages PHP and Python are among them.
