Name
dwebp
-- Decompress a WebP file to an image file
Synopsis
dwebp [options] input_file.webp
Description
dwebp
decompresses WebP files into PNG, PAM, PPM or PGM images.
Options
The basic options are:
-h
- Print usage summary.
-version
- Print the version number (as major.minor.revision) and exit.
-o string
- Specify the name of the output file (as PNG format by default). Using "-" as output name will direct output to 'stdout'.
-- string
- Explicitly specify the input file. This option is useful if the input
file starts with an '-' for instance. This option must appear
last
. Any other options afterward will be ignored. If the input file is "-", the data will be read from stdin instead of a file. -bmp
- Change the output format to uncompressed BMP.
-tiff
- Change the output format to uncompressed TIFF.
-pam
- Change the output format to PAM (retains alpha).
-ppm
- Change the output format to PPM (discards alpha).
-pgm
- Change the output format to PGM. The output consists of luma/chroma samples instead of RGB, using the IMC4 layout. This option is mainly for verification and debugging purposes.
-yuv
- Change the output format to raw YUV. The output consists of luma/chroma-U/chroma-V samples instead of RGB, saved sequentially as individual planes. This option is mainly for verification and debugging purposes.
-nofancy
- Don't use the fancy upscaler for YUV420. This may lead to jaggy edges (especially the red ones), but should be faster.
-nofilter
- Don't use the in-loop filtering process even if it is required by the bitstream. This may produce visible blocks on the non-compliant output, but it will make the decoding faster.
-dither strength
- Specify a dithering strength between 0 and 100. Dithering is a post-processing effect applied to chroma components in lossy compression. It helps by smoothing gradients and avoiding banding artifacts.
-nodither
- Disable all dithering (default).
-mt
- Use multi-threading for decoding, if possible.
-crop x_position y_position width height
- Crop the decoded picture to a rectangle with top-left corner at
coordinates (
x_position
,y_position
) and sizewidth
xheight
. This cropping area must be fully contained within the source rectangle. The top-left corner will be snapped to even coordinates if needed. This option is meant to reduce the memory needed for cropping large images. Note: the cropping is applied before any scaling. -flip
- Flip decoded image vertically (can be useful for OpenGL textures for instance).
-scale width height
- Rescale the decoded picture to dimension
width
xheight
. This option is mostly intended to reducing the memory needed to decode large images, when only a small version is needed (thumbnail, preview, etc.). Note: scaling is applied after cropping. -v
- Print extra information (decoding time in particular).
-noasm
- Disable all assembly optimizations.
