About

NAPS2 on Linux allows you to scan from USB (using SANE) and network scanners. Use your chosen settings, or set up multiple profiles for different devices and configurations. Once you've finished scanning, you can save, email, or print with only a couple clicks. Save to PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, or other file types. Easily rotate, crop, and rearrange scanned pages. Adjust brightness, contrast, and apply automatic document corrections to make your scanned pages look great. Use OCR to add searchable text to your PDFs in any of over 100 languages. Use batch scanning, advanced profile settings, and an optional CLI to automate tedious tasks. NAPS2 is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Share your scanners over the network so you can use them across devices and operating systems.
