Usage: heif-convert [options]  <input-image> [output-image]

Options:
  -h, --help                     show help
  -v, --version                  show version
  -q, --quality                  quality (for JPEG output)
  -o, --output FILENAME          write output to FILENAME (optional)
  -d, --decoder ID               use a specific decoder (see --list-decoders)
      --with-aux                 also write auxiliary images (e.g. depth images)
      --with-xmp                 write XMP metadata to file (output filename with .xmp suffix)
      --with-exif                write EXIF metadata to file (output filename with .exif suffix)
      --skip-exif-offset         skip EXIF metadata offset bytes
      --no-colons                replace ':' characters in auxiliary image filenames with '_'
      --list-decoders            list all available decoders (built-in and plugins)
      --quiet                    do not output status messages to console
  -C, --chroma-upsampling ALGO   Force chroma upsampling algorithm (nn = nearest-neighbor / bilinear)
      --png-compression-level #  Set to integer between 0 (fastest) and 9 (best). Use -1 for default.
