If you want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the web server in which you host it needs to have the correct software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images using a script app. All of these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that may be installed on a web server and which work with a lot of frequently used scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may use images with any web-based app you'd like, no matter what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will allow you to work with over 100 different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
