Commandline usage

EMPF Preview can render preview output from PowerShell for repeatable local workflows.

Use the full install path

The installer does not add EmpfPreview.exe to your system PATH. Run it from its installed location, or add your own shortcut/script if you want a shorter command.

Export HTML preview

& "C:\Program Files\EMPF Preview\EmpfPreview.exe" --html --max-size 2048 "C:\Projects\input.empf" "C:\Projects\preview.html"

Export PNG preview

& "C:\Program Files\EMPF Preview\EmpfPreview.exe" --png --max-size 1024 "C:\Projects\input.empf" "C:\Projects\preview.png"
