NAME

       avifdec - decompress an AVIF file to an image file

SYNOPSIS

       avifdec [options] input.avif output.[jpg|jpeg|png|y4m]

       avifdec --info input.avif

DESCRIPTION

       avifdec decompresses an AVIF file to an image file.  Output format can be either JPEG, PNG
       or YUV4MPEG2 (Y4M).

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show syntax help.

       -V, --version
              Show the version number.

       -j, --jobs J
              Number of jobs (worker threads).  1 or less means single-threaded.  Default  is  1.
              Use all to use all available cores.

       -c, --codec C
              AV1  codec to use.  Possible values depend on the codecs enabled at build time (see
              --help or --version for the available codecs).  Default is auto-selected  from  the
              available codecs.

              Possible values are:

              • aom

              • dav1d

              • libgav1

       -d, --depth D
              Output  PNG  depth.   Ignored  when  the  output  format is JPEG (always 8 bits per
              channel) or Y4M (input depth is retained).

              Possible values are:

              • 8

              • 16

       -q, --quality Q
              Output JPEG quality in the range 0-100.  Default is  90.   Ignored  if  the  output
              format is not JPEG.

       --png-compress L
              Output  PNG  compression  level  in the range 0-9 (fastest to maximum compression).
              Default is libpng’s built-in default.  Ignored if the output format is not PNG.

       -u, --upsampling U
              Chroma upsampling method.  Ignored unless the input format is 4:2:0 or 4:2:2.

              Possible values are:

              • automatic (default)

              • fastest

              • best

              • nearest

              • bilinear

       -r, --raw-color
              Output raw RGB values instead  of  multiplying  by  alpha  when  saving  to  opaque
              formats.   This  is  available  if the output format is JPEG, and not applicable to
              y4m.

       --index I
              When decoding an image sequence or progressive image, specify which frame index  to
              decode.  Default is 0.

       --progressive
              Enable  progressive  AVIF  processing.   If  a progressive image is encountered and
              --progressive is passed, avifdec will use --index to choose which layer  to  decode
              (in progressive order).

       --no-strict
              Disable strict decoding, which disables strict validation checks and errors.

       -i, --info
              Decode all frames and display all image information instead of saving to disk.

       --ignore-icc
              If the input file contains an embedded ICC profile, ignore it (no-op if absent).

       --size-limit C
              Specifies the image size limit (in total pixels) that should be tolerated.  Default
              is 268,435,456 pixels (16,384 by 16,384 pixels for a square image).

       --dimension-limit C
              Specifies the image dimension limit (width or height)  that  should  be  tolerated.
              Default is 32,768.  Set it to 0 to ignore the limit.

       --     Signals the end of options.  Everything after this is interpreted as file names.

EXAMPLES

       Decompress an AVIF file to a PNG file:
              $ avifdec input.avif output.png
