If you want to have dynamic images on your site, the machine in which you host it should have the correct software for this. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images in accordance with the device a site visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images using a script application. All these things are feasible via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which can be installed on a server and which work with a lot of widespread scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you can use images with any web-based application you want, regardless of the language it was developed 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 such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
