croptool_crop —
simple image cropping tool
croptool_crop |
<width>x<height>+<x>+<y> <source filename> [destination filename] |
croptool_crop crops the given
source filename to the dimensions specified, where
width and height are the width
and height of the cropping rectangle and x and
y specify the top left corner of the cropping
rectangle. If a destination filename is given, the
cropped image is written to this file instead of modifying the source image
in-place. This program is meant primarily as a companion to
croptool(1).
Note that metadata such as EXIF data is currently not preserved.
If preserving such data is necessary, consider using the commands provided
by ImageMagick(1) instead. The same goes for cases where
it is necessary to specify options such as the JPEG compression level that
croptool_crop does not support.
The croptool_crop utility exits 0
on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

The image format of the cropped image is determined by the format of the source image, even if the destination file has a different ending.
At least some versions of Imlib2 seem to have issues with saving gif files.
