If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the machine in which you host it must have the appropriate software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images via a script application. All these things are possible with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be installed on a web server and that work with a great number of widely used scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you can use images with any web-based app you want, no matter what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will allow you to work with over 100 different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Web Hosting

All of the web hosting plans which we offer are set up on our modern cloud platform and since both GD Library and ImageMagick are installed on it, your script applications can use these software suites any time. The libraries are available with all of the PHP versions that we supply because we support PHP 4 and a couple of versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. Regardless if you work with a custom-made script, one of the apps which you're able to install from the Hepsia Control Panel or some third-party application that you find on the worldwide web, you will be able to build feature-rich multi-media sites, for example image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and the visitors can work with graphs and images in real time as long as the script offers such options.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each semi-dedicated server package that we supply is provided with ImageMagick and GD Library support by default. The libraries will be enabled at all times even if you upgrade the PHP version which is in use by your account, therefore you will not need to re-enable anything manually in case you switch from PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8 to PHP 4 or vice versa. In case the script app that you use has built-in features to use pictures and graphs, it'll function flawlessly on our servers, regardless if you've acquired it online, if it is part of the script library which you will be able to access from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel or if you created it from scratch. When you use our services, you can make interactive image galleries, portfolio sites or feature-rich social network portals.
