How to view / convert IFF ILBM image files under Linux?

ffmpeg can convert IFF ILBM images and ANIM animations. For example to create a JPEG file from an ILBM:

ffmpeg -i myimage.iff myimage.jpg

ffplay supports all file formats supported by ffmpeg, so it can "play" IFF images and animations:

ffplay myimage.iff

netpbm (netpbm-progs) can convert IFF ILBM to its native image format, and from there to many other formats. For example, to create a JPEG file, use "ilbmtoppm" and "pnmtojpeg":

cat myimage.iff | ilbmtoppm | pnmtojpeg > myimage.jpg

ImageMagick also uses "ilbmtoppm", so you can use its commands to process IFF ILBM picture files. For example "convert":

convert myimage.iff myimage.png

GIMP supports IFF ILBM images with a plugin.

xiffview can show IFF ILBM images on X screens, and gives some information about them (palette, bitmaps). (Only simple images are currently supported - no HAM, EHB, ...)
