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