If you would want to have dynamic images on your website, the server where you host it needs to have the proper software for that. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images in accordance with the device a website visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script app. All these things are possible through ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which could be set up on a server and that work with a wide range of widely used scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you can use images with any web-based application you want, no matter what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will enable you to work with more than one hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
