If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the web server in which you host it should have the suitable software for that. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script app. All of these things are possible via ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that could be installed on a server and that work with a wide range of widely used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you could use images with any web-based application you want, irrespective of the language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will enable you to work with over a hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.

They will be part of the software environment for your sites whatever the PHP version that you pick as we supply several different versions. Every custom or ready-made script application can use the libraries so as to create thumbnails of your images or graphs from plain text. According to the type of your website, you'll also be able to offer various options for your visitors - interactive galleries, live image modifying software on a social network website and many more.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Each semi-dedicated server plan that we supply is provided with ImageMagick and GD Library support as standard. The libraries will be enabled all of the time even if you change the PHP version that is in use by your account, therefore you will not need to re-enable anything manually if you switch from PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8 to PHP 4 or vice versa. If the script app which you employ has built-in options to work with pictures and graphs, it'll work flawlessly on our servers, regardless if you've acquired it online, if it's a part of the script library which you're able to access from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel or if you created it from scratch. When you use our services, you're able to build multimedia image galleries, portfolio websites or feature-rich social network portals.
