Statements
Zbarimg is a command line tool used for decoding barcode images. It is based on the Zbar library, which is an open-source software suite used for reading barcodes from various sources. \\ With zbarimg, you can easily extract barcode information from images in formats such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, and TIFF. It supports a wide range of barcode types, including QR codes, EANs, UPCs, and many others. (English)
Note that "image" in this context refers to any format supported by ImageMagick, including many vector formats such as PDF and PostScript. Keep in mind that vector formats are rasterized before scanning; manually rasterize vector images before scanning to avoid unintentionally corrupting embedded barcode bitmaps. (English)
The zbarimg program uses ImageMagick to read image files in many different formats. You will need at least ImageMagick version 6.2.6 if you want to scan image files. You may also use GraphicsMagick package instead. (English)
