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
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 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
decode 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.
