IMG2WEBP(1)		     General Commands Manual		     IMG2WEBP(1)

NAME
     img2webp - create animated WebP file from a sequence of input images.

SYNOPSIS
     img2webp [file_options] [[frame_options] frame_file]... [-o webp_file]
     img2webp argument_file_name

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents the img2webp command.

     img2webp  compresses  a  sequence of images using the animated WebP format.
     Input images can either be PNG, JPEG, TIFF or WebP.  If a single file  name
     (not starting with the character '-') is supplied as the argument, the com-
     mand line arguments are actually tokenized from this file.  This allows for
     easy scripting or using a large number of arguments.

FILE-LEVEL OPTIONS
     The  file-level  options  are  applied  at the beginning of the compression
     process, before the input frames are read.

     -o string
	    Specify the name of the output WebP file.

     -min_size
	    Encode images to achieve smallest size. This disables key frame  in-
	    sertion  and  picks  the parameters 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.
	    -mixed Mixed compression mode: optimize compression of the image  by
	    picking  either lossy or lossless compression for each frame heuris-
	    tically. This global option disables the  local  option  -lossy  and
	    -lossless .

     -near_lossless int
	    Specify  the level of near-lossless image preprocessing. This option
	    adjusts pixel values to help compressibility, but has minimal impact
	    on the visual quality. It triggers lossless compression  mode  auto-
	    matically. The range is 0 (maximum preprocessing) to 100 (no prepro-
	    cessing,  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 conversion.

     -loop int
	    Specifies  the  number of times the animation should loop. Using '0'
	    means 'loop indefinitely'.

     -v     Be more verbose.

     -h, -help
	    A short usage summary.

     -version
	    Print the version numbers of the relevant libraries used.

PER-FRAME OPTIONS
     The per-frame options are applied for the images following as arguments  in
     the  command  line. They can be modified any number of times preceding each
     particular input image.

     -d int
	    Specify the image duration in milliseconds.

     -lossless, -lossy
	    Compress the next image(s) using lossless or lossy compression mode.
	    The default mode is lossless.

     -q float
	    Specify the compression factor between 0 and 100. The default is 75.

     -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 in-
	    specting additional encoding possibilities and decide on the quality
	    gain.  Lower value can result in faster processing time at	the  ex-
	    pense of larger file size and lower compression quality.

     -exact, -noexact
	    Preserve  or  alter  RGB  values in transparent area. The default is
	    -noexact, to help compressibility. Note -noexact may cause artifacts
	    in frames compressed with -lossy.

EXIT STATUS
     If there were no problems during execution, img2webp exits with  the  value
     of the C constant EXIT_SUCCESS. This is usually zero.

     If  an  error  occurs,  img2webp  exits  with  the  value of the C constant
     EXIT_FAILURE. This is usually one.

EXAMPLE
     img2webp -loop 2 in0.png -lossy in1.jpg -d 80 in2.tiff -o out.webp
