DESCRIPTION
heif-enc Convert image to HEIC/HEIF.
OPTIONS
-q QUALITY, --quality QUALITY
Defines quality level between 0 and 100 for the generated output
file.
-L, --lossless
Generate lossless output (-q has no effect)
-t SIZE, --thumb SIZE
Generate thumbnail with maximum size SIZE pixels (default: off).
--no-alpha
Do not save alpha channel.
--no-thumb-alpha
Do not save alpha channel in thumbnail image.
-o FILENAME, --output FILENAME
Output filename (optional).
-v, --verbose
Enable logging output (more -v will increase logging level).
-P, --params
Show all encoder parameters.
-b DEPTH
Bit-depth of generated HEIF file when using 16-bit PNG input
(default: 10 bit).
-p NAME=VALUE
Set additional encoder parameters. See NOTES below.
EXIT STATUS
0
Success
1
Failure (syntax or usage error; error while loading, converting or
writing image).
NOTES
The available input formats depend on the libraries that were available
at compile time. Supported are JPEG, PNG and Y4M, the file type is
determined based on the extension of the input file.
When specifying multiple source images, they will all be saved into the
same HEIF file.
When using the x265 encoder, you may pass it any of its parameters by
prefixing the parameter name with x265:. Hence, to set the ctu parame-
ter, you will have to set x265:ctu in libheif (e.g.: -p x265:ctu=64).
Note that there is no checking for valid parameters when using the pre-
fix.
