If you would like to have dynamic images on your internet site, the server in which you host it must have the appropriate software for that. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images in accordance with the device a site visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images via a script app. All of these things are feasible via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which can be set up on a hosting server and that work with a great number of widespread scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you could use images with any web-based app that you would like, regardless what language it was developed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will enable you to work with more than 100 different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Web Hosting
Both ImageMagick and GD Library can be found and enabled as standard on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform, which means that your scripts can use them regardless of the Linux web hosting package that you select when you join us. This will help you set up interactive sites without worrying about any kind of technical limitations on our end. If you own a portfolio website, for example, you can have dynamically generated thumbnails of the images which show your work, while if you own a social network or a similar site which engages the guests in some way, you will be able to offer them a number of editing options for the pictures which they upload. Also, you can convert text to images, which will provide you with numerous opportunities as to what content you are able to offer on your website.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every single semi-dedicated server plan that we provide includes ImageMagick and GD Library support as standard. The libraries will be enabled all of the time even if you switch the PHP version which is in use by your account, which means that you will not have to re-enable anything manually in case you switch from PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8 to PHP 4 or vice versa. If the script application that you employ has in-built features to work with pictures and charts, it'll work perfectly 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 using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel or if you wrote it on your own. When you use our services, you're able to make interactive image galleries, portfolio websites or feature-rich social network portals.
