Hi Dominik,
on debian it's in the package 'imagemagick', don't know the footprint of
that package though. But it has a lot of dependencies (with X11) etc etc.
man convert:
NAME

blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much
more.

Use it to convert between image formats as well as resize an
