ScanSnap Home (for PC) Features

One stop for all ScanSnap productivity

With ScanSnap Home, repetitive tasks such as sorting, saving, organizing and connecting scanned data with other applications are made as comfortable as possible. The more you use ScanSnap Home, the more it understands your preferences, and the better assistant it will be.



Intuitive scan using profiles

Settings such as saving destinations, cloud services, file format, color, and image quality are saved as profiles, enabling easy management and utilization of your settings. With scanners with touch screens, the profiles are displayed as icons on the touch screen.
When you select the icon and scan, the scanner starts scanning with the registered settings.

Utilize scanned data with Quick Menu beyond just scanning

The Quick Menu allows you to select saving and integration destinations after scanning. In addition to traditional options like folder saving and email sending, new integrations with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneNote, Notion, and iCloud have been added*1.
Moreover, the Quick Menu suggests various cloud services linked to the ScanSnap Cloud service*2 that would enable direct cloud saving.

ScanSnap Cloud settings completed on ScanSnap Home

Set up and manage ScanSnap Cloud service from ScanSnap Home (for PC). With one touch of the Scan button, ScanSnap Cloud automatically classifies scanned data into four categories: documents, receipts, business cards, and photos. Simply set profiles for each category by selecting the cloud service of your choice in ScanSnap Home so that it automatically sorts and delivers each piece to its predetermined cloud service.
The convenient, device-less scanning eliminates the need for document sorting and selection of output destination.




Spend less time on finding files

Scanned data is automatically recognized and grouped into four categories: documents, receipts, business cards and photos. No need to be concerned about spending time on sorting data by yourself.


The software helps you quickly search through large volumes of data with keyword search. Recognition of information in both PDF and JPEG formats as well as creation of folders and tags enables you to find information you need easier than before.





ScanSnap Home (for mobile) Features

*ScanSnap Connect Application is also available for scanning from a mobile device.

Intuitive user interface for easier operation

Just tap to share scanned data with family and friends

Connect your interests quickly by sharing content across messaging, chat applications, and other social networks by tapping the share icon on your smartphone device.
ScanSnap is a great way to quickly scan and enrich communication with your family and friends at the push of a button.





ScanSnap Cloud settings completed on mobile devices

Set up and manage ScanSnap Cloud right from your mobile device. After setting up ScanSnap Cloud, ScanSnap automatically recognizes the type of scanned document ("Documents", "Business Cards", "Receipts", or "Photos") and saves the data to your preferred cloud service according to your setting.
With ScanSnap Home (for mobile), you can also view the data history sent via ScanSnap Cloud.
For ScanSnap with a touch screen, ScanSnap Home (for mobile) also allows you to set multiple icons on the touch screen with any cloud service designated as the destination, as well as a function that enables scanned data to be emailed directly from the touch screen.
