If you want to have dynamic images on your website, the server where you host it must have the proper 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 website visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images via a script application. All of these things are doable via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that can be set up on a web server and which work with a large amount of widely used scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you may use images with any web-based application that you'd like, regardless what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will permit you to work with more than one hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
