If you want to have dynamic images on your website, the server where you host it must have the appropriate software for that. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a site visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images via a script application. All these things are doable with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which could be installed on a hosting server and that work with a large amount of widely used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you can use images with any web-based application you want, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries shall allow you to work with more than a hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
