If you want to have dynamic images on your site, the web server in which you host it should have the correct software for this. Instead of using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a website visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images using a script app. All these things are doable via ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that can be installed on a hosting server and that work with a lot of widespread scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you could use images with any web-based application you want, irrespective of the language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will enable you to work with over 100 different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
