# 6.5 Image Copy: imf_copy

The image copying and conversion utility `imf_copy` is started as

`imf_copy` [options] infile outfile [outtype]

The file infile will be copied to outfile. The outtype specifies the format of outfile. If no type is specified, the file name extension of outfile is used. See section for a list of valid formats. The `map` format is especially valuable for creating memory-mappable texture images (see pages and for details). Three options are supported:

- `-h`
  Print a brief option summary.

- `-p`
  Create a pyramid texture, consisting of a sequence of progressively smaller versions of the same image in one file. This allows better texture anti-aliasing. See page .

- `-v`
  Verbose output prints messages showing what `imf_copy` is doing, and a version banner.
