I'm working on another project and I'm trying to find a program that will perform simple image manipulations like rotate/flip. I want to keep things small since DSL itself is small but so far programs like ImageMagick, GD, NetPBM look like they'll be too big to work with. 500KB or smaller is ideal.

All I need is a simple, very small command line program. I don't need a GUI or viewer just feed it a file and options and let it do it's thing. I'll be working with gifs and jpgs but everything I look for invariably comes back to ImageMagick there's got to be something smaller that I don't know about.

For jpgs there is jpegtran, which is under 100k (as small as 20k, depending on the version). It's part of the libjpeg distribution from the Independendent JPEG Group

That works great! I compiled it default for @136 Kb. Small enough. Now I'm trying to find if there's something similiar for gif files.
