NAPS2 — fast, free scanning for macOS
NAPS2 is a free, open-source tool for scanning and organizing documents on macOS. It converts scans into PDF files quickly and is built to simplify routine digitization tasks with a clean, approachable interface.
Supported devices
- Works with a wide variety of scanners from well-known manufacturers such as Canon, Brother, and HP.
- Compatible with both WIA and TWAIN drivers so you can pick the connection method that best matches your hardware.
Quick setup and customization
Getting started takes only a couple of minutes. Create a scanning profile and tailor settings like DPI and paper size to suit each job, then save those preferences for future use.
Editing tools and OCR
NAPS2 includes a built-in PDF preview and editing workflow so you can adjust scans before exporting.
- Trim away unwanted margins or extraneous areas with the crop tool.
- Rotate pages to correct orientation issues.
- Reorder pages within a document to assemble multi-page files correctly.
The app also offers OCR for more than a hundred languages, enabling full-text search inside scanned documents and simplifying document management.
