HEIF-THUMBNAILER(1)

💖 HEIF-THUMBNAILER 💖

okay bestie, so this is heif-thumbnailer, a lil tool from the General Commands Manual section, and it is literally the moment your file manager stops showing you a sad grey rectangle for every .heic pic you took on your phone. ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

heif-thumbnailer — create thumbnails from HEIC/HEIF files

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

heif-thumbnailer [-s SIZE] filename output

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: heif-thumbnailer makes thumbnail images out of HEIC/HEIF files. that's it, that's the job, and it does it so well. 🫶

and like, why do we care? because those lil thumbnails can be used for example by Nautilus, so your file browser actually shows you the vibe of the image instead of just… nothing. no cap, it's giving glow-up energy for your whole folder. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -s SIZE — sets the maximum width and height of the thumbnail it's gonna generate. default is 512 pixel. so like, the thumb is capped at that size in both directions, got it? 🔥

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

• 0 — Success. slay, everything worked, we ate. 👑
• 1 — Failure. and that means: syntax or usage error; error while loading, converting or writing image. basically something went wrong somewhere in the process and it's not your bestie's finest hour. 😭

🙈 BUGS 🙈

not me ending this page but like, the footer was just the page name again — HEIF-THUMBNAILER(1) — which is highkey iconic because this tool lives in the General Commands Manual and refuses to be anything else. periodt. 💖

k bye bestie, go make some thumbnails 🎀✨
