# yuy2topam(1)

convert YUY2 bytes to PAM

## NAME

yuy2topam - convert YUY2 bytes to PAM

## SYNOPSIS

**yuy2topam**

**-width=***pixels*  **-height=***pixels* \[*filename*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**yuy2topam** reads raw YUY2 bytes as input and produces a PAM image as output.  The input file is just YUY2 bytes.  You have to specify the width and height on the command line, since the program obviously can't get them from the file.

The output image has maxval 255.

## OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably **-quiet**, see \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), **yuy2topam** recognizes the following command line options:

- **-width**=*width*

  Width of the image, in pixels.  This must be an even number.

- **-height**=*height*

  Height of the image.

These options are mandatory.
