A Node-RED node to perform functions on images, generate and decode barcodes.
-
Built in demos.
- In Node-RED, look under the hamburger menu → import → examples → node-red-contrib-image-tools
-
Image node
- Read image from file, http, base64 string or buffer
- Print single or multi line text to an image
- Over 40 image function built in with many more possible by using convolution kernels
- Perform 1 or multiple (batch) images processes in each node
- TIP: you can convert a function to batch JSON by clicking the button adjacent to the function dropdown field. Then simply edit the batch JSON into an array
[{...},{...},{...}]to perform as many operations as needed in one go.
- TIP: you can convert a function to batch JSON by clicking the button adjacent to the function dropdown field. Then simply edit the batch JSON into an array
- Create blank image by setting Image field to an object
{"w":100,"h":100,"background":0} - All function parameters can be either fixed or passed in by msg/flow/global
- Can output image data as a Jimp image, a buffer or base64 string.
- All functions and parameters are self documenting - a tip under each item in the node editor helps the user
- Partial (non animated) GIF loading & processing support (experimental)
-
Image viewer node
- View images in the node-red editor (for preview / debug purposes)
- Full credit to rikukissa and dceejay for the excellent node-red-contrib-image-output on which the "image viewer node" is heavily based. (Copy of MIT license included in src files as requested)
- Features include ability to display a jimp image, buffer, file name, base64 string, Data URL, Image URL.
- Works in Internet Explorer (IE11 tested)
-
Barcode Decode node
- Ability to decode 1D, QR and Data Matrix barcodes. See supported formats.
-
Barcode Generator node
- Ability to create over 100 types of barcodes...

Version 1 has breaking change ~ vs ~ V0.x versions. Existing flows using the "2D Barcode Decode" node will need to be modified. The easy way of fixing this is to delete any "2D Barcode Decode" & deploy, then update the node, then re-add the new "Barcode Decode" nodes.
Alternatively, you can avoid this issue by performing the following steps...
- Upgrade node-red-contrib-image-tools
- Stop node-red
- Make a backup of your flow.json file
- Opening your flow.json file in a text editor
- Search / replace all instances of
"type":"2D Barcode Decoder"with"type":"Barcode Decoder" - Save and close your flow file
- Start node-red
None!
The easiest wat to install is to use the Pallet Manager in node-red.
Run the following command in the directory of your Node-RED install.
(Usually this is ~/.node-red or %userprofile%\.node-red).
npm install Steve-Mcl/node-red-contrib-image-tools
Run the following command in the directory of your Node-RED install.
(Usually this is ~/.node-red or %userprofile%\.node-red).
npm install node-red-contrib-image-tools
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install.
(Usually this is ~/.node-red or %userprofile%\.node-red).
npm install c:/tempfolder/node-red-contrib-image-tools
- Tested on Node V10, V12, V14 only. YMMV
- Bugs are quite possible :)
