If you want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the web server in which you host it must have the proper software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a site visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images using a script app. All of these things are feasible via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be installed on a server and that work with a lot of popular scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you could 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 enable you to work with over one hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Shared Hosting

Both ImageMagick and GD Library are present and activated by default on our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform, which means that your scripts can use them irrespective of the shared plan that you select when you join us. This will allow you to build interactive websites without having to worry about any kind of technical limitations on our end. When you own a portfolio website, for example, you can have dynamically generated thumbnails of the pictures that show your work, while if you have a social network or a similar site that engages the guests in some way, you are able to provide them with a variety of editing options for the pictures they upload. In addition, you can convert text to images, which will provide you with various opportunities as to what content you're able to offer on your website.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server package that we offer is provided with ImageMagick and GD Library support by default. The libraries will be enabled all of the time even if you upgrade the PHP version that is being used by your account, therefore you won't 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 features to use images and graphs, it'll function flawlessly on our servers, regardless if you've discovered it online, if it's part of the script library which you'll be able to access using the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel or if you created it from scratch. Using our services, you are able to build multi-media image galleries, portfolio sites or feature-rich social network portals.
