If you want to have dynamic images on your website, the server in which you host it needs to have the proper software for this. As an alternative to using static images with a fixed size, you can have thumbnails and automatically resized images depending on the device a site visitor uses or you can even flip and invert images through a script application. All these things are possible with ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software which may be installed on a web server and that work with a wide range of popular scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you may use images with any web-based application you'd like, regardless of the language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will allow you to work with over one hundred different image formats including GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so on.
