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