Open Source Perl Graphics Software

Perl library and command-line application for reading, writing and editing meta information (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and more) in a wide variety of file formats (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PDF, RAW, and more).

GraphicsMagick provides a set of commandline tools and programming APIs for manipulating, editing, and converting raster and vector images. It is derived from ImageMagick, with the objective of providing better stability and performance than ImageMagick while retaining the original MIT/X11 license.

A comprehensive software suite for reading barcodes. Supports EAN/UPC, Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5 and QR Code. Includes libraries and applications for decoding captured barcode images and using a video device (eg, webcam) as a barcode scanner.

ExifTool is a battle-tested Perl application for reading, writing, and batch-editing metadata in thousands of file types—images, videos, audio, documents, and more. It understands major standards like EXIF, IPTC, and XMP as well as an enormous range of camera maker notes and container formats (for example, QuickTime/MP4, PDF, TIFF). Typical workflows include extracting metadata to JSON/CSV/XML, renaming files from timestamps or tags, shifting capture times, copying tags between files, and cleaning or normalizing fields for archives. The tool is meticulous about character encodings, time zones, and tag groups, helping avoid silent corruption when moving metadata between ecosystems. It is scriptable and composable, with options to operate recursively, write sidecars, preserve originals, or do dry runs for safety. Professionals rely on ExifTool for digital asset management, forensic workflows, and any pipeline where metadata quality and traceability matter.
