If you would want to have dynamic images on your site, the web server in which you host it should have the proper software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images in accordance with the device a website visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images using a script app. All these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be set up on a hosting server and which work with a lot of widely used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you may use images with any web-based application that you'd like, regardless what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will allow you to work with over a hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
