ImageMagick is an open source image processing toolkit. It supports a fairly large number of image file formats, and is useful as a format conversion tool.
ImageMagick includes an "identify" utility that can reveal a lot of information about the file format, and other characteristics of an image.
There is a fork of ImageMagick called GraphicsMagick, which is more stable, but less frequently updated.

[edit] Examples
Converting from one format to another is usually as simple as typing something like:
$ convert example.png example.jpg
For ImageMagick v7+, you may have to use magick, or magick convert, instead of convert.
A more advanced example, to convert to a portable BMP file:
$ convert example.png -alpha remove -compress none BMP3:example.bmp
For information about an image file:
$ identify -verbose example.png
For a list of supported formats:
$ convert -list format

[edit] Format cross-reference
This is not a complete list of ImageMagick's formats and pseudo-formats, but it is intended to include at least the portable image file formats that ImageMagick natively supports.
The "RW" column indicates read support (R), write support (W), or both (RW).
