NAPS2
Scan documents to PDF and more, as simply as possible.
NAPS2 is free, open source scanning software for Windows, Mac and Linux that captures documents from scanners including Canon, Brother, HP, Epson and Fujitsu devices. It supports flatbed and automatic document feeder scanning, including duplex, and saves output as PDF, TIFF, JPEG or PNG. The software lets users choose between WIA and TWAIN drivers and configure settings such as DPI, page size and bit depth.
Pages can be rotated, cropped, reordered by drag and drop, and adjusted for brightness and contrast, with automatic deskewing and manual duplex interleaving. Optical character recognition (OCR) supports text search in PDFs across over 100 languages, and the interface is available in over 40 languages. Scanners can be shared across a local network. For automation and deployment, NAPS2 offers a command-line interface, the NAPS2.Sdk scanning library for .NET developers, an MSI installer with application-level configuration for group policy deployment, and portable archives that do not require installation.
NAPS2 is free for individuals and businesses, with no ads or restrictions, and accepts donations.
