If you would want to have dynamic images on your website, the server in which you host it needs to have the suitable software for that. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images using a script application. All of these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that can be set up on a web server and that work with a large amount of widespread scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you can use images with any web-based app that you would like, no matter what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries shall allow you to work with over a hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
