Sure is.  Pbmplus will do just just about any conversions you can think of,
with some manipulations thrown in for good measure.  And it's public domain,
too!  What more could you ask for?  

Here's the list of what it will do.  This is the "INDEX" file that comes with
the distribution.

----------

Notes: Programs that can read PPM files can also read PGM and PBM files.
       Programs that can read PGM files can also read PBM files.
       PNM programs can read any format file, and write the same format
           that they read.


PBM handles the following formats:		READING	   WRITING

    Sun icon file				icontopbm  pbmtoicon
    Sun raster file				rasttopbm  pbmtorast
    X11 bitmap file				xbmtopbm   pbmtoxbm
    X10 bitmap file				xbmtopbm   pbmtox10bm
    MacPaint					macptopbm  pbmtomacp
    CMU window manager format			cmuwmtopbm pbmtocmuwm
    MGR format					mgrtopbm   pbmtomgr
    Group 3 FAX					g3topbm    pbmtog3
    X11 window dump file			xwdtopbm   pbmtoxwd
    X10 window dump file			xwdtopbm
    Xerox doodle brushes			brushtopbm
    GEM .img format				gemtopbm
    PC paintbrush (.pcx) format			pcxtopbm
    PICT					picttopbm
    ASCII graphics					   pbmtoascii
    HP LaserJet format					   pbmtolj
    GraphOn graphics					   pbmtogo
    BBN BitGraph graphics				   pbmtobg
    Printronix format					   pbmtoptx

PGM handles the following formats:

    TIFF					tifftopgm
    Usenix FaceSaver file			fstopgm
    HIPS					hipstopgm
    FITS					fitstopgm  pgmtofits
    PostScript "image" data			psidtopgm
    raw grayscale bytes				rawtopgm
    Encapsulated PostScript				   pgmtops

PPM handles the following formats:

    color Sun raster file			rasttoppm  ppmtorast
    GIF						giftoppm   ppmtogif
    Amiga IFF ILBM				ilbmtoppm  ppmtoilbm
    color X11 window dump file			xwdtoppm   ppmtoxwd
    color X10 window dump file			xwdtoppm
    MTV ray-tracer output			mtvtoppm
    QRT ray-tracer output			qrttoppm
    TrueVision Targa file			tgatoppm
    Img-whatnot file				imgtoppm
    color Encapsulated PostScript			   ppmtops

PNM performs the following operations:

    concatenate portable anymaps		     pnmcat
    crop a portable anymap			     pnmcrop
    cut a rectangle out of a portable anymap	     pnmcut
    enlarge a portable anymap			     pnmenlarge
    perform flip operations on a portable anymap     pnmflip
    invert a portable anymap			     pnminvert
    paste a rectangle into a portable anymap	     pnmpaste
    replicate a portable anymap into a
        specified size				     pnmtile
