GIF2WEBP(1) General Commands Manual GIF2WEBP(1) NAME gif2webp - Convert a GIF image to WebP SYNOPSIS gif2webp [options] input_file.gif -o output_file.webp DESCRIPTION This manual page documents the gif2webp command. gif2webp converts a GIF image to a WebP image. OPTIONS The basic options are: -o string Specify the name of the output WebP file. If omitted, gif2webp will perform conversion but only report statistics. 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. -h, -help Usage information. -version Print the version number (as major.minor.revision) and exit. -lossy Encode the image using lossy compression. -mixed Mixed compression mode: optimize compression of the image by picking either lossy or lossless compression for each frame heuristically. -near_lossless int Specify the level of near-lossless image preprocessing. This op- tion adjusts pixel values to help compressibility, but has mini- mal impact on the visual quality. It triggers lossless compres- sion mode automatically. The range is 0 (maximum preprocessing) to 100 (no preprocessing, the default). The typical value is around 60. Note that lossy with -q 100 can at times yield better results. -sharp_yuv Use more accurate and sharper RGB->YUV conversion. Note that this process is slower than the default 'fast' RGB->YUV conver- sion. -q float Specify the compression factor for RGB channels between 0 and 100. The default is 75. In case of lossless compression (default), a small factor en- ables faster compression speed, but produces a larger file. Max- imum compression is achieved by using a value of 100. In case of lossy compression (specified by the -lossy option), a small factor produces a smaller file with lower quality. Best quality is achieved by using a value of 100. -m int Specify the compression method to use. This parameter controls the trade off between encoding speed and the compressed file size and quality. Possible values range from 0 to 6. Default value is 4. When higher values are used, the encoder will spend more time inspecting additional encoding possibilities and de- cide on the quality gain. Lower value can result is faster pro- cessing time at the expense of larger file size and lower com- pression quality. -min_size Encode image to achieve smallest size. This disables key frame insertion and picks the dispose method resulting in the smallest output for each frame. It uses lossless compression by default, but can be combined with -q, -m, -lossy or -mixed options. -kmin int -kmax int Specify the minimum and maximum distance between consecutive key frames (independently decodable frames) in the output animation. The tool will insert some key frames into the output animation as needed so that this criteria is satisfied. A 'kmax' value of 0 will turn off insertion of key frames. A 'kmax' value of 1 will result in all frames being key frames. 'kmin' value is not taken into account in both these special cases. Typical values are in the range 3 to 30. Default values are kmin = 9, kmax = 17 for lossless compression and kmin = 3, kmax = 5 for lossy compression. These two options are relevant only for animated images with large number of frames (>50). When lower values are used, more frames will be converted to key frames. This may lead to smaller number of frames required to decode a frame on average, thereby improving the decoding per- formance. But this may lead to slightly bigger file sizes. Higher values may lead to worse decoding performance, but smaller file sizes. Some restrictions: (i) kmin < kmax, (ii) kmin >= kmax / 2 + 1 and (iii) kmax - kmin <= 30. If any of these restrictions are not met, they will be enforced automatically. -metadata string A comma separated list of metadata to copy from the input to the output if present. Valid values: all, none, icc, xmp. The de- fault is xmp. -f int For lossy encoding only (specified by the -lossy option). Spec- ify the strength of the deblocking filter, between 0 (no filter- ing) and 100 (maximum filtering). A value of 0 will turn off any filtering. Higher value will increase the strength of the filtering process applied after decoding the picture. The higher the value the smoother the picture will appear. Typical values are usually in the range of 20 to 50. -mt Use multi-threading for encoding, if possible. -loop_compatibility If enabled, handle the loop information in a compatible fashion for Chrome version prior to M62 (inclusive) and Firefox. -v Print extra information. -quiet Do not print anything. EXIT STATUS If there were no problems during execution, gif2webp exits with the value of the C constant EXIT_SUCCESS. This is usually zero. If an error occurs, gif2webp exits with the value of the C constant EXIT_FAILURE. This is usually one.
