If you want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the web server where you host it must have the proper software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images through a script app. All these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be installed on a server and that work with a great number of frequently used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may use images with any web-based app that you would like, regardless of the language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries shall allow you to work with over one hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
