Q: 

Generating thumbnail for various files by wrapping Linux CLI program

There are various programs available for generating thumbnails for different file formats. For PDF there is ImageMagick, FFmpegthumbnailer for movies and so on. Does anyone know about a Linux program that's able to create thumbnails for different file formats? I don't care if that's just a wrapper on top of other programs as long as it gives me one interface for creation of thumbnails.
