If you want to have dynamic images on your website, the server where you host it must have the proper software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script application. All these things are feasible through ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that can be set up on a web server and that work with a lot of frequently used scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you may 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 two libraries shall allow you to work with more than one hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
