Fast coordinate conversion with ds9

Fast and easy conversion of a .reg file with image coordinates (x,y positions) to sky coordinates (RA,Dec;sexagesimal):

ds9 image.fits -regions load input_imageCoordinates.reg -regions system wcs -regions skyformat sexagesimal -regions save outout_skyCoordinates.reg -exit

with automatic exit of the program!

Thanks to Alexandros M. for providing some examples!
