convert: Convert an image from JPG to PNG.
$ convert ${image-jpg} ${image-png}
try on your machine

The given command is written in a syntax that is commonly used in shell scripting languages like Bash.

In this command, convert is a command-line tool used to convert images from one format to another. It is likely referring to the ImageMagick's convert utility.

${image-jpg} and ${image-png} are placeholders for actual image filenames, where the suffix -jpg and -png suggest that the command expects a JPG (or JPEG) image file as the input and a PNG image file as the output.

To execute this command, you would replace ${image-jpg} with the actual filename of the JPG image you want to convert, and ${image-png} with the desired filename for the resulting PNG image. Once substituted, the command could look something like:

convert image.jpg image.png

This would instruct the convert utility to convert the image.jpg file from JPG format to PNG format and save it as image.png.
