Despite its widespread use, Irfranview, IMHO, is the digital image
equivalent of Wordpad. Things on a Mac are much better all round, but
on a Windows system, ACDSee is still the fastest viewer/browser (even
the really old versions work great).
Regrettably, on Linux systems, the choices are extensive but from what
I've seen, most are somewhere between slow and stupid. Resorting to
writing PHP and viewing images in a browser window, I guess, works for
some.

Imagemagick is what you're looking for.
convert foo.jpg -resize 96x96 bar.jpg
