The 'Free Scanner Software' by Media Freeware streamlines the process of digitizing documents and images. It is a small free program for Windows that receives pages from TWAIN-compatible scanners, including network scanners, and saves them as PDF files or images. It is designed for home and office users who simply want to scan a page and save it with just a few clicks.

The application's user interface is simple and devoid of any complex settings. It has been designed primarily to assist users in scanning their pages. Consequently, the toolbar consists mostly of scanning and saving options: Scan, Save PDF, Save Images, PDF & Email, Move Up, Move Down, Rotate Left and Rotate Right. Even individuals with little computer knowledge can understand and use the 'Free Scanner Software' right away. It is lightweight and runs on Windows Vista and later versions of Windows.

It turns paper documents into PDF files or images in a few clicks, with no complex settings to learn.

Features:

  • It saves scans as PDF documents or as images in formats such as JPG, PNG and TIFF.
  • Allows rotating scanned pages left or right and changing their order before saving.
  • Scanned pages are listed as thumbnails, so several pages can be combined into one PDF.
  • Offers zoom in and out options and page scrolling from top to bottom in the preview.
  • The PDF & Email button prepares a PDF of the scanned pages for sending by email.

The 'Free Scanner Software' is free to use, but it does not include OCR, so scanned pages are saved as images rather than editable or searchable text. It can be considered a handy tool for both professional and personal use. With just a few clicks, it brings simplicity to document scanning, although users who need text recognition, cropping or advanced image correction will need a more complete scanning suite.
