If you would want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the server in which you host it needs to have the correct software for this. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a site visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images using a script app. All these things are possible via ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which may be set up on a web server and which work with a lot of widespread scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you could use images with any web-based app you want, regardless 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 a hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Cloud Hosting

All of the Linux cloud hosting plans which we supply are set up on our hi-tech cloud platform and since both GD Library and ImageMagick are installed on it, your script apps will be able to use these software suites at any time. The libraries are available with all the PHP versions that we supply because we support PHP 4 and a couple of versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. Regardless if you use a custom script, one of the applications that you're able to install through the Hepsia Control Panel or a third-party app that you find on the Internet, you'll be able to build feature-rich interactive sites, for instance image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and your visitors can work with charts and images in real time as long as the script offers such functionality.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to run every script application which requires GD Library or ImageMagick to make graphs or use images, because both are installed and activated by default on the cloud web hosting platform where all the semi-dedicated server accounts are created. Even if you switch the PHP version for your account, you will not need to do anything to re-enable these libraries as they'll be accessible all of the time. Thus, you'll have numerous alternatives in respect to what features both you and your website visitors shall be able to employ, no matter if you're writing the website code yourself, you use one of our pre-installed script apps or you download and set up some app which you've found on the worldwide web. You'll be able to employ all the sought-after formats for the photos which you upload.
