DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the webpmux command.
webpmux can be used to create/extract from animated WebP files, as well
as to add/extract/strip XMP/EXIF metadata and ICC profile. If a single
file name (not starting with the character '-') is supplied as the
argument, the command line arguments are actually tokenized from this
file. This allows for easy scripting or using a large number of
arguments.
OPTIONS
GET_OPTIONS (-get):
icc Get ICC profile.
exif Get EXIF metadata.
xmp Get XMP metadata.
frame n
Get nth frame from an animated image. (n = 0 has a special
meaning: last frame).
SET_OPTIONS (-set)
loop loop_count
Set loop count on an animated file.
Where: 'loop_count' must be in range [0, 65535].
bgcolor A,R,G,B
Set the background color of the canvas on an animated file.
where: 'A', 'R', 'G' and 'B' are integers in the range 0 to 255
specifying the Alpha, Red, Green and Blue component values
respectively.
icc file.icc
Set ICC profile.
Where: 'file.icc' contains the ICC profile to be set.
exif file.exif
Set EXIF metadata.
Where: 'file.exif' contains the EXIF metadata to be set.
xmp file.xmp
Set XMP metadata.
Where: 'file.xmp' contains the XMP metadata to be set.
STRIP_OPTIONS (-strip)
icc Strip ICC profile.
exif Strip EXIF metadata.
xmp Strip XMP metadata.
DURATION_OPTIONS (-duration)
Amend the duration of a specific interval of frames. This option is
only effective on animated WebP and has no effect on a single-frame
file.
duration[,start[,end]]
Where:
duration is the duration for the interval in milliseconds
(mandatory). Must be non-negative.
start is the starting frame index of the interval (optional).
end is the ending frame index (inclusive) of the interval
(optional).
The three typical usages of this option are:
-duration d
set the duration to 'd' for the whole animation.
-duration d,f
set the duration of frame 'f' to 'd'.
-duration d,start,end
set the duration to 'd' for the whole [start,end] interval.
Note that the frames outside of the [start, end] interval will remain
untouched. The 'end' value '0' has the special meaning 'last frame of
the animation'.
Reminder:
frame indexing starts at '1'.
FRAME_OPTIONS (-frame)
Create an animated WebP file from multiple (non-animated) WebP images.
file_i +di[+xi+yi[+mi[bi]]]
Where: 'file_i' is the i'th frame (WebP format), 'xi','yi'
specify the image offset for this frame, 'di' is the pause
duration before next frame, 'mi' is the dispose method for this
frame (0 for NONE or 1 for BACKGROUND) and 'bi' is the blending
method for this frame (+b for BLEND or -b for NO_BLEND).
Argument 'bi' can be omitted and will default to +b (BLEND).
Also, 'mi' can be omitted if 'bi' is omitted and will default to
0 (NONE). Finally, if 'mi' and 'bi' are omitted then 'xi' and
'yi' can be omitted and will default to +0+0.
-loop n
Loop the frames n number of times. 0 indicates the frames should
loop forever. Valid range is 0 to 65535 [Default: 0
(infinite)].
-bgcolor A,R,G,B
Background color of the canvas.
where: 'A', 'R', 'G' and 'B' are integers in the range 0 to 255
specifying the Alpha, Red, Green and Blue component values
respectively [Default: 255,255,255,255].
INPUT
Input file in WebP format.
OUTPUT (-o)
Output file in WebP format.
Note:
The nature of EXIF, XMP and ICC data is not checked and is assumed to
be valid.

EXAMPLES
Add ICC profile:
webpmux -set icc image_profile.icc in.webp -o icc_container.webp
Extract ICC profile:
webpmux -get icc icc_container.webp -o image_profile.icc
Strip ICC profile:
webpmux -strip icc icc_container.webp -o without_icc.webp
Add XMP metadata:
webpmux -set xmp image_metadata.xmp in.webp -o xmp_container.webp
Extract XMP metadata:
webpmux -get xmp xmp_container.webp -o image_metadata.xmp
Strip XMP metadata:
webpmux -strip xmp xmp_container.webp -o without_xmp.webp
Add EXIF metadata:
webpmux -set exif image_metadata.exif in.webp -o exif_container.webp
Extract EXIF metadata:
webpmux -get exif exif_container.webp -o image_metadata.exif
Strip EXIF metadata:
webpmux -strip exif exif_container.webp -o without_exif.webp
Create an animated WebP file from 3 (non-animated) WebP images:
webpmux -frame 1.webp +100 -frame 2.webp +100+50+50
-frame 3.webp +100+50+50+1+b -loop 10 -bgcolor 255,255,255,255
-o anim_container.webp
Get the 2nd frame from an animated WebP file:
webpmux -get frame 2 anim_container.webp -o frame_2.webp
Using -get/-set/-strip with input file name starting with '-':
webpmux -set icc image_profile.icc -o icc_container.webp -- ---in.webp
webpmux -get icc -o image_profile.icc -- ---icc_container.webp
webpmux -strip icc -o without_icc.webp -- ---icc_container.webp
