If you want to have dynamic images on your site, the server where you host it should have the suitable software for that. Rather than 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 of these things are doable through ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software which could be set up on a server and that work with a wide range of widely used scripting languages like: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you could use images with any web-based application that you'd like, irrespective 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 such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, and so forth.
