If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the machine in which you host it should have the correct software for that. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a site visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images using a script application. All of these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which can be installed on a server and that work with a great number of frequently used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may 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 2 libraries shall allow you to work with more than 100 different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Shared Hosting
All the shared hosting which we offer are set up on our leading-edge cloud platform and since both GD Library and ImageMagick are present on it, your script apps can use these software suites at any time. The libraries are available with all PHP versions that we provide as we support PHP 4 and several versions of PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8. Regardless if you employ a custom script, one of the applications which you can install through the Hepsia Control Panel or a third-party application that you find on the worldwide web, you will be able to build feature-rich interactive sites, such as image galleries or socially-oriented portals where both you and the visitors will be able to work with graphs and / or images in real time as long as the script features such functionality.
ImageMagick and GD Library in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we supply is provided with ImageMagick and GD Library support by default. The libraries will be enabled all the time even if you change the PHP version which is being used by your account, which means that you won't have to re-enable anything manually if you move from PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8 to PHP 4 or vice versa. In case the script app that you employ has built-in features to work with pictures and graphs, it will function perfectly on our servers, no matter if you've discovered it online, if it is part of the script library which you'll be able to access through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel or if you wrote it on your own. With our services, you're able to create multimedia image galleries, portfolio websites or feature-rich social network portals.
