ImageMagick is a collection of smaller utilities.  convert is the most
useful of those.  "convert foo.png foo.jpg" does obvious things, and
convert and there are a ton of other switches to convert.  The man
pages for ImageMagick don't officially exist; they tell you to look at
the HTML documentation (sigh) but that's a reasonably decent guide to
using ImageMagick.  Another useful program is identify, which can tell
you all sorts of things about any random image you have lying around.
