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 effort

wimf-convert

This is the main tool. It changes images into WIMF and back. It also does batch stuff if you have a lot of files

  • Batch Mode: wimf-convert -i ./*.jpg -o ./output_folder/
  • Benchmark: Add --benchmark to see how WIMF performs against JPEG and WebP
  • ROI Extract: wimf-convert -i huge.wimf -o patch.png --roi 0 0 500 500

wimf-cat

A native terminal image viewer. It renders the image directly in your terminal using ANSI magic. Useful for remote servers where you don't have a GUI

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

# update the author name without re-encoding
wimf-meta photo.wimf --set author "BenchWare" --show
