Publisher review:fax2png program extracts a specified page from a 1-bit black and white TIFF image, such as a fax, and efficiently converts it to PNG format. This script extracts a specified page from a 1-bit black and white TIFF image, such as a fax, and efficiently converts it to PNG format without the performance overhead of netpbm-based solutions.
Antialiasing is supported to produce attractive reductions to typical web browser widths, as in the example above. 90-degree-interval rotations and flips are also supported.
While all of the above can be performed with netpbm and related utilities, fax2png is much more efficient in time and memory usage.
The input file must be in TIFF format, and must contain one or more single-bit images (black and white, such as a G3 fax file). Color images are not supported. If your TIFF files are not faxes or black and white document scans, you should use the slower but more general tifftopnm utility.
You may specify an output file name, such as myfile.png. If you do not specify a file name, a PNG format image is written to standard output.
