imgcnvrt is a tiny CLI for doing fast, efficient conversions between image file formats. It is written in Rust and extends functionality from the lovely image library.
To install imgcnvrt, first ensure you have a working installation of Rust and cargo, Rust's build system and package manager. Follow the instructions from the Rust book.
Next, run:
cargo install imgcnvrtOnce you have imgcnvrt installed, you can run it like so:
imgcnvrt path/to/my/image.jpg .pngimgcnvrt takes in two arguments:
- The path to the source image.
- The image type you want to convert to (e.g.
.png,.jpeg,.tiff)
imgcnvrt supports convertions based on the restrictions of its parent library image. Depending on the format you are decoding (converting from) and encoding (converting to), you may encounter errors. For example, there is no support for encoding WebP formats in image yet; therefore, imgcnvrt does not support it either. Likewise, if you want to decode a WebP image, it must not contain animation or alpha headers.
