Yes, but seriously, no need for Gimp.
ImageMagick is another FOSS software that is specifically designed to be called from scripts. You can easily convert formats, as well as overlay another image (or add a text annotation). yes, there is a learning curve, but IMHO much easier than Gimp is you want to write scripts. They also have a nice forum over there...
In addition IM has "bindings" allowing it to be called from most popular languages so it should be a lot easier to ingrate with your server software.
