dwebp: Convert a `webp` file into a specific filetype.
$ dwebp ${path-to-input-webp} -bmp|-tiff|-pam|-ppm|-pgm|-yuv -o ${path-to-output}
try on your machine

The command you provided is used to convert a WebP image file to a different image format. Let's break it down:

  1. dwebp: This is the command-line tool used to decode WebP images.

  2. ${path-to-input-webp}: This should be replaced with the actual path to the WebP file you want to convert. For example, /path/to/image.webp.

  3. -bmp|-tiff|-pam|-ppm|-pgm|-yuv: This part specifies the output format you want to convert the WebP image to. Choose one of the available options:

    • -bmp: Output the image in BMP format.
    • -tiff: Output the image in TIFF format.
    • -pam: Output the image in PAM format.
    • -ppm: Output the image in PPM format.
    • -pgm: Output the image in PGM format.
    • -yuv: Output the image in YUV format.

  4. -o ${path-to-output}: This specifies the path and filename for the converted output file. Replace ${path-to-output} with the desired path and filename for the output image (e.g., /path/to/output.bmp).

To use this command, you need to have the dwebp tool installed on your system. It's part of the WebP image format package provided by Google.
