If you would want to have dynamic images on your site, the server where you host it needs to have the appropriate software for that. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a website visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images using a script application. All of these things are doable with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be set up on a server and that work with a wide range of frequently used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you may use images with any web-based app you want, irrespective of the language it was developed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries shall allow you to work with over a hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
