title: Are there any good image-manipulating APIs (ImageMagick alternatives) for PHP?
body: <p>My host (wooservers) does not have ImageMagick installed on their shared servers so I was wondering if there was any image manipulation library/plugin I could use?</p>
  
  <p>(Mainly to watermark GIF animations.)</p>
  
  <p>As the only way I've found to watermark GIF animations was through ImageMagick</p>
  
  <p>My host does not have ImageMagick installed on their shared servers. So I was wondering if there was any other way to use ImageMagick-like capabilities to watermark animated GIFs? </p>
  
  <p>(Maybe like a web-service that allows me to send them the image with specifications on how to process the image, and they do the processing and I get my image back? Something of that sort? Which I believe is called an API?)</p>
