If you want to have dynamic images on your internet site, the web server in which you host it should have the appropriate software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a website visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script application. All of these things are doable with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that may be set up on a server and which work with a wide range of widely used scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you may use images with any web-based application you want, no matter 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 a hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etc.
