ImageMagick and GD are software libraries which should be present on a web server in order for images to appear on a given site. They permit you to carry out various tasks with the images - create, flip, resize, change colors, etcetera. These things can certainly be performed online and in real time, so if you include a static image, for instance, the libraries make it possible for a thumbnail to appear on the website or for the image to be resized automatically based on the device and resolution which the website visitor is using. Both ImageMagick and GD may be employed with various web programming languages including PHP, Perl and Python, so you don't need to stick to just one language to develop your site. They work with more than one hundred formats, including the most widespread ones - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, etc.
