If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the server in which you host it should have the suitable software for this. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images via a script application. All of these things are possible through ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be set up on a server and that work with a lot of widespread scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you can use images with any web-based application you'd like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries shall allow you to work with over one hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
