dwebp: Convert a `webp` file and don't use in-loop filtering to speed up the decoding process.
$ dwebp ${path-to-input-webp} -o ${path-to-output-png} -nofilter
try on your machine

The command you provided is used to convert a WebP image file to a PNG image file using the dwebp tool. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • dwebp: It is the name of the command-line tool used for decoding WebP images.
  • ${path-to-input-webp}: This is a placeholder for the path to the input WebP image file that you want to convert. You need to replace it with the actual path to the WebP file (e.g., "/path/to/input.webp").
  • -o: This flag specifies the output file path or name.
  • ${path-to-output-png}: This is a placeholder for the path to the output PNG image file you want to generate. The placeholder should be replaced with the actual path or name for the output PNG file (e.g., "/path/to/output.png").
  • -nofilter: This flag disables the use of in-loop filtering during the conversion process. In-loop filtering is used in the WebP image format to achieve better compression, but disabling it may result in faster decoding and less accurate image quality.

So, the command instructs dwebp to decode the input WebP file and save the resulting image as a PNG file at the specified output path, while also disabling in-loop filtering during the conversion process.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
