If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the machine where you host it needs to have the correct software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a website visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images via a script application. All these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that could be set up on a hosting server and that work with a wide range of popular scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you can use images with any web-based application that you'd like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will permit you to work with more than a hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Shared Web Hosting
Our tailor-made cloud server platform will supply the suitable software setting for all of your sites regardless of the content that you'd like to have. Galleries as well as any other types of sites that work with images and graphs are not an exception because ImageMagick and GD Library are available with all of the shared web hosting that we supply. Your account will be created on our cloud platform and no matter which PHP version you want to use (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), both the libraries will always be enabled as standard, not on demand. If the script app which you are using offers such capabilities, you will be able to manage images from the administrative section, while the website guests shall be able to do this using the front end of the site.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers
Both ImageMagick and GD Library are present on the cloud hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated server account shall be created, which means that you can take advantage of all of the attributes of any script app which requires any of the two libraries to manage images, like Joomla™, WordPress, photo galleries, forums, and the like. If you are a web developer, you'll be able to write the code yourself since we also support a number of programming languages PHP and Python are some of them. To supply you with even more options with regards to what sort of apps you will be able to run, we support many different PHP releases - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2. GD and ImageMagick will be enabled for each of them, which means that the software environment on our servers won't limit your choice in terms of the types of websites that you can have.
