If you would want to have dynamic images on your site, the web server where you host it must have the appropriate software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images in accordance with the device a website visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images using a script application. All of these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that can be installed on a server and that work with a large amount of widely used scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you can use images with any web-based application you want, no matter what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will permit you to work with over 100 different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
