I use this script I wrote to convert my large images to thumbnails. The
convert app is part of imagemagick which as Lesley says is available as
a package.

Robin

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: genthumbnails [filenames]"
    exit 1
fi

if [ ! -d "thumbs" ]; then
        mkdir thumbs
fi 
    
for filename in $(ls $1); do
    convert -geometry "240x180" $filename ./thumbs/$filename
done
