is not as powerful as imagemagick
but it sounds useful for mac only cli apps! (via Simon’s too) ; Read the whole thing! –> QUOTE: I wanted to convert some .webp images to .png on my Mac. I asked ChatGPT:...On MacOS use CLI to convert webp images to PNG...And it told me about sips:...sips -s format png image.webp --out image.png...Or to run it against all PNGs in a folder:...for file in *.webp; do sips -s format png "$file" --out "${file%.*}.png"; done...I had never heard of sips before - but apparently it's been a default command on macOS for a very long time.
