If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the server where you host it needs to have the correct software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images in accordance with the device a site visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images through a script app. All of these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which may be installed on a hosting server and which work with a lot of widespread scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you could use images with any web-based app that you'd like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will permit you to work with over one hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
