What Quick Scan is

Quick Scan is a free Windows application that scans images from WIA-compatible scanners and saves them automatically. Its continuous mode repeats scans using the same parameters, making it useful for batches of similarly sized items. Users can select an output folder, file format, base filename, and incrementing filename counter. Supported formats are JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, and BMP. The app can copy and paste images through the Windows Clipboard and offers basic image manipulation, including flipping and rotation. Scanned images may include metadata such as EXIF tags when the selected output format supports it. Quick Scan requires a WIA-compatible scanner and does not support TWAIN. Pre-built binaries require .NET 4.8 and are listed for Windows 11, Windows 10 version 1607 or later, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 SP1, and specified Windows Server versions. The project warns that very large scans, or scans above A4 size at more than 600 DPI, may crash or produce corrupted images depending on the scanner and driver. Reading some WIA properties can rarely crash the program. The source code uses the MIT license; users can report problems through GitHub issues, and the project accepts pull requests.

Who it suits
