DWEBP(1)                    General Commands Manual                   DWEBP(1)



NAME
       dwebp - decompress a WebP file to an image file

SYNOPSIS
       dwebp [options] input_file.webp

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents the dwebp command.

       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 ap-
              pear 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 sequen-
              tially as individual planes. This option is mainly for verifica-
              tion 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 band-
              ing artifacts.

       -alpha_dither
              If  the  compressed  file contains a transparency plane that was
              quantized during compression, this flag will allow dithering the
              reconstructed  plane  in order to generate smoother transparency
              gradients.

       -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 size width x height.
              This cropping area must be fully  contained  within  the  source
              rectangle.   The top-left corner will be snapped to even coordi-
              nates 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).

       -resize, -scale width height
              Rescale  the  decoded  picture to dimension width x height. This
              option is mostly intended to reducing the memory needed  to  de-
              code  large  images, when only a small version is needed (thumb-
              nail, preview, etc.). Note: scaling is applied  after  cropping.
              If either (but not both) of the width or height parameters is 0,
              the value will be calculated preserving the aspect-ratio.

       -quiet Do not print anything.

       -v     Print extra information (decoding time in particular).

       -noasm Disable all assembly optimizations.
