About

Skanlite is a simple image scanning application to scan and save images. It is optimized for scanning with flatbed scanners. Skanlite can capture not only photos and documents, but also transparent slides and filmstrips, with supported scanners.

Features:

  • Save dialog for every image scanned or saving the images immediately in a specified folder with auto-generated names and format
  • Support for networks scanners
  • Preview with selection feature for the final scan
  • Scanning multiple selections of an image
