Features

Use the best drivers for your scanner

  • Choose between WIA and TWAIN drivers, whichever works better for your scanner. Also choose settings like DPI, page size, and bit depth. Scan from a flatbed or automatic document feeder (ADF), including duplex support.

Rotate, crop, and rearrange images

  • Drag and drop your pages into whatever order you like. Interleave pages for manual duplex scanning. Rotate your pages by hand or automatically deskew to the right angle. Use image editing tools to crop or change brightness and contrast.

Identify text using OCR

  • Search through text included in your PDFs by using optical character recognition (OCR), in any of over 100 languages.

Use NAPS2 in your native language

  • Choose from over 40 different languages. If your language isn't available yet, help translate!

Batch scan

  • Use advanced batch scanning functionality to automate tedious scanning tasks. Combine multiple scans together and automatically number and timestamp files.

What's New

  • Added Undo/Redo (from the right-click menu or Ctrl+Z)
  • Deletions can't be undone
  • Added Split/Combine (under the Image menu)
  • Split can be used for book scanning to separate pages
  • Combine can be used to include front/back sides of an ID card in one image
  • Added "Multiple Languages" as an option for OCR (in the OCR language dropdown)
  • Added a "Fix white balance and remove noise" OCR option
  • This can improve OCR with low-quality scans, but will make OCR slower
  • This is equivalent to using "Document Correction" before OCR
  • Upgraded Tesseract from 5.2.0 to 5.3.4 for OCR
  • Added a "Show native TWAIN progress" profile option (under Advanced)
  • Bug fixes
