How do I convert (.gif to .png) this image to get the original view?
Using the -coalesce
option will do the wonder.
Like this,
convert -verbose -coalesce Dijkstra_Animation.gif dijkstra.png
Actually the -coalesce
option "merges a sequence of images" as is claimed in the manual page.
If convert
does not work for you and you are a Mac user, you can try sips
, which comes with your MacOS. For example, you can convert a GIF image into a PNG image:
sips -s format png 1.gif --out 1.png
You can also convert a folder filled with GIFs to PNGs saved in folder pngs:
sips -s format png gifs/*.gif --out pngs
More about sips
. It is an abbreviation of Scriptable image processing system. It is used to query or modify raster image files (JPG/GIF/PNG). Image processing options include flip, rotate, change image format/width/height. You can find more details in its manual: in command line man sips
or at online manual.
FYI, my MacOS release (obtained by uname -rsv
) is:
