If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the machine where you host it needs to have the suitable software for this. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images via a script application. All of these things are feasible through ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that can be set up on a hosting server and which work with a great number of widespread scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may use images with any web-based app that you'd 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 more than 100 different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Hosting
All the Linux hosting service which we offer are generated on our cutting-edge 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 accessible with all PHP versions that we supply because we support PHP 4 and a number of versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. No matter if you work with a custom script, one of the applications that you can install through the Hepsia Control Panel or some third-party app that you find on the web, you'll be able to build feature-rich multimedia websites, for example image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and the users will be able to work with graphs and images in real time provided the script features such options.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers
Both ImageMagick and GD Library are present on the cloud web hosting platform where your new semi-dedicated server account will be created, which means that you'll be able to take advantage of the full features of any script app that requires any of the two libraries in order to manage images, such as Joomla, WordPress, photo galleries, forums, and many others. If you are a website designer, you will be able to write the program code yourself as we also support a number of programming languages PHP and Python are some of them. To offer you even more options with regards to what applications you are able to run, we support a number of 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 any of them, which means that the software environment on our servers will never restrict your choice in terms of the types of sites which you can have.
