   From the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html section 6.6 "How do
I view picture files from other platforms":

 * Convert 3200 is one of the best programs still being sold for   
       graphics conversion on the GS. A short list of file formats it   
       handles is: Apple Preferred Format (GS) and PaintWorks Gold
       format, various 3200 color GS formats, as well as Windows-OS/2           
       BMP, Compuserve GIF, Amiga .IFF/ PC .LBM, Paintbrush PCX, Binary
       PC and several varieties of TIFF files. It can save in a number of
       those: Apple Preferred, Windows BMP, Paintbrush PCX, TIFF, Binary 
       PC and Print Shop GS.
       For more information, please see

     * The Graphics Exchange converts between many formats of graphics;
       the 16-bit version is also available from Roger Wagner Publishing.
     * SuperConvert (commercial program, published by Seven Hills       
       Software) loads all GS formats, plus GIFS and other non-GS      
       specific formats and saves in all GS formats (including Finder
       Icon files). It has more dithering options than most of the other
       programs, but you may have to play with it to find the best one.
       It can also save in TIFF and GIF formats if you want to move Apple
       II graphics to other machines.
