If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the machine where you host it needs to have the suitable software for that. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a website visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images via a script app. All of these things are possible via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be installed on a server and which work with a large amount of widespread scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you could use images with any web-based app that you'd like, irrespective of the language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will enable you to work with over 100 different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.

Both ImageMagick and GD Library are accessible and activated by default on our revolutionary cloud website hosting platform, so your scripts can use them whatever the Linux shared hosting package that you select when you join us. This will help you create multimedia sites without having to worry about any tech restrictions on our end. In case you have a portfolio website, for example, you can have dynamically generated thumbnails of the pictures that show your work, while when you have a social network or a similar website that engages your visitors in some way, you will be able to provide them with a number of editing solutions for the pictures that they upload. Also, you can convert text to pictures, which will provide you with various opportunities regarding what content you're able to offer on the website.

ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Each semi-dedicated server plan that we offer includes ImageMagick and GD Library support by default. The libraries will be enabled at all times even if you switch the PHP version that is in use by your account, therefore you will not need to re-enable anything manually if you move from PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8 to PHP 4 or vice versa. If the script app which you use has inbuilt features to work with images and charts, it will function flawlessly on our servers, regardless of whether you've acquired it online, if it's part of the script library which you can access using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel or if you created it on your own. Using our services, you're able to make multi-media image galleries, portfolio sites or feature-rich social network portals.
