dwebp: Convert a `webp` file, using multi-threading if possible.
$ dwebp ${path-to-input-webp} -o ${path-to-output-png} -mt
try on your machine

The given command is used to convert a WebP image file to a PNG image file using the dwebp utility.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dwebp": This is the command to invoke the dwebp utility. The dwebp utility is a part of the WebP library and is used for decoding WebP images.

  • "${path-to-input-webp}": This placeholder represents the path to the input WebP image file that you want to convert. You need to replace "${path-to-input-webp}" with the actual file path.

  • "-o ${path-to-output-png}": This option specifies the output file path for the converted PNG image. Again, "${path-to-output-png}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the desired file path.

  • "-mt": This option enables multi-threading, allowing parallel processing to utilize multiple cores of the CPU. It can significantly speed up the conversion process for large images.

By running this command with the appropriate input and output file paths, you can convert a WebP image to a PNG image using the dwebp utility.
