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