NAME

6       dwebp - decompress a WebP file to an image file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dwebp [options] input_file.webp
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This manual page documents the dwebp command.
13
14       dwebp decompresses WebP files into PNG, PAM, PPM or PGM images.
15

OPTIONS

17       The basic options are:
18
19       -h     Print usage summary.
20
21       -version
22              Print the version number (as major.minor.revision) and exit.
23
24       -o string
25              Specify  the name of the output file (as PNG format by default).
26              Using "-" as output name will direct output to 'stdout'.
27
28       -- string
29              Explicitly specify the input file. This option is useful if  the
30              input  file  starts  with  an '-' for instance. This option must
31              appear last.  Any other options afterward will  be  ignored.  If
32              the  input file is "-", the data will be read from stdin instead
33              of a file.
34
35       -bmp   Change the output format to uncompressed BMP.
36
37       -tiff  Change the output format to uncompressed TIFF.
38
39       -pam   Change the output format to PAM (retains alpha).
40
41       -ppm   Change the output format to PPM (discards alpha).
42
43       -pgm   Change  the  output  format  to  PGM.  The  output  consists  of
44              luma/chroma  samples instead of RGB, using the IMC4 layout. This
45              option is mainly for verification and debugging purposes.
46
47       -yuv   Change the output format to raw  YUV.  The  output  consists  of
48              luma/chroma-U/chroma-V  samples  instead  of  RGB, saved sequen‐
49              tially as individual planes. This option is mainly for verifica‐
50              tion and debugging purposes.
51
52       -nofancy
53              Don't  use the fancy upscaler for YUV420. This may lead to jaggy
54              edges (especially the red ones), but should be faster.
55
56       -nofilter
57              Don't use the in-loop filtering process even if it  is  required
58              by  the  bitstream.  This may produce visible blocks on the non-
59              compliant output, but it will make the decoding faster.
60
61       -dither strength
62              Specify a dithering strength between 0 and 100. Dithering  is  a
63              post-processing  effect  applied  to  chroma components in lossy
64              compression.  It helps by smoothing gradients and avoiding band‐
65              ing artifacts.
66
67       -alpha_dither
68              If  the  compressed  file contains a transparency plane that was
69              quantized during compression, this flag will allow dithering the
70              reconstructed  plane  in order to generate smoother transparency
71              gradients.
72
73       -nodither
74              Disable all dithering (default).
75
76       -mt    Use multi-threading for decoding, if possible.
77
78       -crop x_position y_position width height
79              Crop the decoded picture to a rectangle with top-left corner  at
80              coordinates  (x_position,  y_position)  and size width x height.
81              This cropping area must be fully  contained  within  the  source
82              rectangle.   The top-left corner will be snapped to even coordi‐
83              nates if needed.  This option is  meant  to  reduce  the  memory
84              needed for cropping large images.  Note: the cropping is applied
85              before any scaling.
86
87       -flip  Flip decoded image vertically (can be useful for OpenGL textures
88              for instance).
89
90       -resize, -scale width height
91              Rescale  the  decoded  picture to dimension width x height. This
92              option is mostly intended  to  reducing  the  memory  needed  to
93              decode large images, when only a small version is needed (thumb‐
94              nail, preview, etc.). Note: scaling is applied  after  cropping.
95              If either (but not both) of the width or height parameters is 0,
96              the value will be calculated preserving the aspect-ratio.
97
98       -quiet Do not print anything.
99
100       -v     Print extra information (decoding time in particular).
101
102       -noasm Disable all assembly optimizations.
