If you would want to have dynamic images on your site, the web server where you host it needs to have the proper software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a site visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images using a script application. All these things are possible with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which can be installed on a web server and that work with a large amount of widespread scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you could use images with any web-based application that you would like, regardless what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will enable you to work with over one hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Web Hosting
All web hosting plans which we provide are generated on our leading-edge cloud platform and due to the fact that both GD Library and ImageMagick are installed on it, your script apps can use these software suites any time. The libraries are available with all the PHP versions that we provide since we support PHP 4 and a couple of versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. No matter if you employ a custom-made script, one of the apps that you're able to install through the Hepsia Control Panel or a third-party application that you find on the worldwide web, you can build feature-rich multi-media sites, such as image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and the visitors can work with charts as well as images in real time as long as the script has such functionality.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each and every semi-dedicated server package that we provide includes ImageMagick and GD Library support as standard. The libraries will be enabled all of the time even if you upgrade the PHP version which 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. Provided the script app that you use has inbuilt features to use pictures and charts, it will function flawlessly on our servers, regardless if you've found it online, if it is a part of the script library which you're able to access using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel or if you wrote it from scratch. With our services, you will be able to make multi-media image galleries, portfolio websites or feature-rich social network portals.
