Try the NetPBM utilities, or the more recent libungif and libgr utilities that
have now replaced it.
On my redhat box:

Summary : Tools for manipulating graphics files in libgr supported formats.
Description :
The libgr-progs package contains a group of scripts for manipulating the
graphics files in formats which are supported by the libgr library. For
example, libgr-progs includes the rasttopnm script, which will convert a
Sun rasterfile into a portable anymap. Libgr-progs contains many other
scripts for converting from one graphics file format to another.
If you need to use these conversion scripts, you should install
libgr-progs. You'll also need to install the libgr package.
