If you would want to have dynamic images on your website, the server in which you host it needs to have the suitable software for that. Rather than using static images with a fixed size, you may have thumbnails and automatically resized images dependant upon the device a website visitor uses or you could even flip and invert images through a script app. All these things are feasible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that could be installed on a server and which work with a wide range of frequently used scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. Thus, you can use images with any web-based app that you'd like, irrespective of the language it was created with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one. The 2 libraries will permit you to work with more than a hundred different image formats such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, etcetera.
