+GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images by programmers.
+
+GD is written in C, and "wrappers" are available for Perl, PHP and other languages. GD creates PNG,
+JPEG, GIF, WebP, XPM, BMP images, among other formats. GD is commonly used to generate charts,
+graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web.
+
+The most common applications of GD involve website development.
+
+The library was originally developped by Thomas Boutell and is now maintained by many contributors (see the CONTRIBUTORS file)
+under the umbrella of PHP.net.
