What's required for GD images with text?

[PokePets]

So, my images with the name of your adoptable etc. work not.
What's required?
PNG/GIF/JPEG images? Somthing else?

The text will only shows up if the image is .gif
currently .png is not supported

Most of the adoptable sites I've seen do use .gif for their image compression; so I assume they're using the GD library.
But Squiby uses .png images. Do they perhaps use a different library (Like ImageMagick or something). Or maybe they convert the image that's written to .png from .gif.

At the moment, I have my adoptables displaying the Name, Owner and Number of Clicks it is underneath using GD- it's then written to a directory as a .gif when the script is run.

GD easily supports png, gif and jpeg.

You just have to go into the code and program it too.

This may help:

Mainly focus on the following areas.
imagecreatefromgif
imagecreatefromjpeg
imagecreatefrompng

Ah, thanks for that, Infernal. I'll take a good look through it :)
If I was working with png, I wouldn't have to semi-flatten my adopts to give them that white halo-type effect so that the lines don't come out all aliased.
