# 2ff(1)

convert image to farbfeld

## NAME

**2ff** – convert image to farbfeld

## SYNOPSIS

**2ff**

## DESCRIPTION

**2ff** reads an image from stdin, converts it to [farbfeld(5)](/farbfeld/5.md) and writes the result to stdout.

**2ff** is a wrapper script around the farbfeld conversion tools with a fallback to obtaining a PNG using [ImageMagick(1)](/ImageMagick/1.md) and passing it through [png2ff(1)](/png2ff/1.md).

In case of an error **2ff** writes a diagnostic message to stderr.

## EXIT STATUS

- 0

  Image processed successfully.

- 1

  An error occurred.

## EXAMPLES

$ **2ff** \< image.\* \> image.ff

$ **2ff** \< image.\* \| bzip2 \> image.ff.bz2

## SEE ALSO

[bzip2(1)](/bzip2/1.md), [ImageMagick(1)](/ImageMagick/1.md), [farbfeld(5)](/farbfeld/5.md)
