If you want to have dynamic images on your site, the server where you host it should have the correct software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a website visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images using a script app. All of these things are doable via ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that can be set up on a server and which work with a large amount of frequently used scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you can use images with any web-based application you want, regardless what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will permit you to work with over a hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
