ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. All manipulations can be achieved through shell commands.

The software can read, convert and write images in a huge variety of formats including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF.
