• Comes with most installations of PHP in Apache.

[edit] Disadvantages

• The library is very low-level. There are no shortcuts for manipulating various things with images. So to make general use of GDLib, except very basic things, like printing a text to an image, a bunch of code or the use of another lib on top of GD is probably needed.
