How to convert MTIFF to PNG with ImageMagick with a specific output filename format?

I know the ImageMagick convert command can convert a single multipage TIFF to multiple PNG files.

What convert command-options allow me to specify the output filename format?

Based on my research, I tried the options below with no success.

convert original.tif -format PNG -set filename:area '%t-PAGE-%p' "%[filename:area]"

If the original.tif file contains 3 pages, I expect 3 new PNG files with filenames:

original-PAGE-0.PNG
original-PAGE-1.PNG
original-PAGE-2.PNG
Solution

  • The solution for me was to update to a newer version of ImageMagick (v6.2 or newer) since prior to ImageMagick ver 6.2, the page number was the suffix in the output filename:

    <original_filename>.<format_suffix>.<image_number>

    e.g. image.png.0

    Starting with IM 6.3, the page number was moved before the filename suffix:

    <original_filename>-<image_number>.<format_suffix>

    e.g. image-0.png
