If you would like to have dynamic images on your website, the web server where you host it needs to have the suitable software for this. Instead of 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 may even flip and invert images through a script app. All these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that may be set up on a hosting server and which work with a great number of widely used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you could use images with any web-based application that you would like, regardless of the language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries shall allow you to work with over 100 different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.

If you are a web developer, you'll be able to write the program code yourself as we also support a lot of programming languages PHP and Python are among them.
