Due to the number of parameters required, there aren’t currently any examples in the demo file. However, a text version of an example looks like this:

bBox_Sips (
   32;
   "-s"; "format"; "heic";
   "/System/Library/Templates/Data/Library/User Pictures/Nature/Earth.png";
   "--out" "/tmp/Earth.heic"
)

Notice in the above example that it requires each item to be a separate parameter, so a total of 7 parameters are used.

Only supported on macOS. See bBox_GraphicsMagick for a Linux compatible alternative, However GraphicsMagick is less likely to leverage available hardware (GPU, AltiVec, etc.).

See man sips in the Terminal for information on usage.
