Looking For An "image Batch Converter" For Linux

Does anyone of you guys, know about a simple application able to grab a group of image files, and convert them to other image formats ???

I'd be more than happy I'd be able to find one like that, I've googled around but I've been unable to find one like that.

You can write a shell script to do the conversion using netpbm tools. For example, png to gif:

pngtopnm foo.png | pnmquant 256 | ppmtogif > foo.gif

I think Imagemagick might be able to do conversions too.

A batch image resizer is birt:

It is packaged by Packman:
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/birt

It may also save in a different format (I am not certain). You could check it out to see if it does that.

Hey, thanks for info. I'm going to give this a try.....

Gwenview contains a batch-converter, too. A simple and nice KDE-context-menu for doing pretty much everything you could do with image-file is »Kim«, which also lets you pick multiple images at once.

Really nice suggestions. I ended using KIM, it's a nice and easy 'addon' to the konqueror context menu. It comes with lots of nice features, pretty handy.

Thanks for the recommendations guys!
