If you would want to have dynamic images on your website, the web server in which you host it must have the suitable software for this. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images using a script application. All of these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that could be installed on a web server and which work with a great number of popular scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you may use images with any web-based app you'd like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will enable you to work with more than one hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
