If you would want to have dynamic images on your site, the server in which you host it must have the appropriate software for this. As opposed to using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images based on the device a site visitor uses or you may even flip and invert images via a script app. All of these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - two pieces of software that could be installed on a web server and that work with a great number of widely used scripting languages such as: Perl, Python and PHP. This way, you may use images with any web-based app that you'd like, regardless of the language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The two libraries will permit you to work with over a hundred different image formats like GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
