If you would like to have dynamic images on your site, the machine where you host it should have the proper software for this. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a website visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script application. All these things are possible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which may be installed on a web server and that work with a great number of widespread scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. That way, you may use images with any web-based application you want, regardless of the language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will enable you to work with over one hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
