There's lots - try searching for PHP & thumbnails at freshmeat.net.
If you're running on Linux, there are lots of CLI based tools which will do
the job a lot better than I could using the GD library. Invoking shell
based programs (and their availabilty) is not so good on a MS platform
though. Last time I checked, the GD lib still doesn't do GIF saving - but
PNG gives better compression and supports larger pallettes anyway.
