If you want to have dynamic images on your website, the web server in which you host it should have the appropriate software for that. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images via a script app. All of these things are doable via ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that can be set up on a server and which work with a large amount of widely used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you may use images with any web-based app you want, irrespective of the language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will permit you to work with over 100 different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
