If you want to have dynamic images on your website, the server in which you host it ought to have the proper software for this. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images via a script application. All of these things are possible via ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which can be installed on a hosting server and that work with a great number of popular scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you may use images with any web-based application that you would like, no matter what language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries shall allow you to work with over 100 different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
