CLI Tools (The terminal suite)

If you don't want to code just use these tools in your terminal They do basically everything the library does but without the actual effort

wimf-convert

This is the main one It changes your boring images into WIMF and back. It also does batch stuff if you have a lot of files to hide

  • Batch Mode: wimf-convert -i ./*.jpg -o ./output_folder/
  • Benchmark: Add --benchmark to see how WIMF destroys JPEG in quality (but loses in speed by a lot)
  • ROI Extract: wimf-convert -i huge.wimf -o patch.png --roi 0 0 500 500

wimf-cat

Since we killed the GUI you need this to actually see what you're doign It renders the image directly in your terminal using some ANSI shit bro idk im underpaid, it looks surprisingly good for a shitty terminal app

# look at your work yo
wimf-cat -i photo.wimf -w 80

wimf-meta

Use this to fix your "forensic" tags It lets you change the author or copyright info instantly without having to wait for the whole image to re-save, This is basically surgery for files

# update the author name without re-encoding the whole thing
wimf-meta photo.wimf --set author "Master Chief" --show
