If you would want to have dynamic images on your website, the machine where you host it needs to have the suitable software for this. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you could have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images through a script application. All of these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which could be installed on a hosting server and that work with a wide range of popular scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you can use images with any web-based application you'd like, no matter 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 100 different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
