If you want to have dynamic images on your site, the web server where you host it must have the suitable software for that. As an alternative to 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 could even flip and invert images using a script application. All these things are doable via ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that could be set up on a web server and that work with a large amount of widespread scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you can use images with any web-based app that you'd like, regardless what language it was developed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will allow you to work with more than a hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
