For convert images from one format to other you can use utility convert:

$ convert test.gif test.jpeg

    isn't convert a tool for Image Magick?

    He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.

      Yes, you are right. convert is utility from ImageMagick. If this package is installed on your web server, just use convert (no need to install any Perl modules) or install GD or Image::Magick in your home directory (no need root privelege).

      Anyway, I think,some graphical tool should be installed on the server (I mean native libraries) to convert, change or produce some graphical documents.
