If you would like to have dynamic images on your website, the server where you host it needs to have the suitable software for this. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a site visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images using a script application. All these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be installed on a web server and that work with a large amount of popular scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you may use images with any web-based app that you'd like, regardless what 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 including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
