Hamrick Software is the ONLY resource I have found that supports our 12 year old Epson flatbed scanner. Even Epson can't do this.

VueScan is amazing software. Ran my 20 year old scanner when no other software could!
Tomas Larsson
Vuescan is for all practical purposes the best scanning software, have done around 60k scanns since 2016.

Brilliant software - as a looooooong time scanner I was never happy with any of the (many) UI and actually threw out a good scanner b/c there was no update for a new OS at the time.

I had tons of photos to scan, and after doing some research I decided to go for VueScan. I don't regret my decision. Scanning was a breeze and saved me a lot of time. I'm using a Brother All-in scanner which I bought 3 years ago and whilst its scanning software is not bad it's much slower and has way less options than VueScan. My operation system is Windows 10. I can recommend VueScan without hesitation. It''s worth the money.

Hamrick Software - I have been using VueScan for 10 years on several different computers using 3 scanner models. It really is an excellent product well maintained and exceptional value for money. It has given me a lot of pleasure over the years and helped produce some high quality scans of vintage family photography. I can recommend it to anyone.

I am absolutely in love with this software! My Nikon COOL SCAN V would only work with Windows 98 so it's been our of commission for quite a while. Thanks to VueScan, it back online and working better than ever. It is so efficient and easy to use that I'm looking forward to scanning several thousand slides that have been stored away and unusable. My scanner now works so much better than it did originally that I am incredulous. I purchased the Pro version and it is worth every penny of the reasonable price. WOW! Love it! Thank You Hamrick!!!

In Jan 2003 I bought VueScan for my Epson Perfection 1200. I used it a lot, more functions than the standard driver. Got new computers with new operating systems, forgot about VueScan. I got a new Epson scanner - old one doesn't have Win10 drivers. I remembered VueScan. Found it, downloaded the trial version, and my old EPSON 1200 scanner WORKED again. Wow, a purchase made in 2003, works on a PC with an operating system that doesn't exist in 2003. 17 YEARS later! And that for a very small amount of money. THIS IS SERVICE AND ADDING VALUE TO YOUR CUSTOMER!

It's absurd that I couldn't use my Epson WF-3520 scanner when Mac OS updated, and Epson obviously has no interest in fixing the problem. Works perfectly with VueScan 9.
Kathy Lower
Vuescan Professional saved me from having to buy a new scanner when Mac Catalina no longer supported my current scanner. Much less expensive than buying a new scanner, easy to use and great quality.
Lee Washington
I’m very pleased with the software. It recognized all scanner features and allows me to continue scan to documents after macOS update.

Was going to send my very old HP scanjet to the landfill but thanks to Hamrick Software I won't have to!!! Very sustainable. It works on my Macbook with Catalina OS!!!!
Peter Lucas
Rescued my Canon P-215 from the junk heap. Kept postponing updating my MacBook Air to High Sierra just to keep the Canon driver working. For some reason the driver and proprietary software stopped working today anyway. Thanks to VueScan, I get to use my scanner despite the fact that there's no longer support from Canon. Thank you!
Peter Yurowitz
I have 3 scanners in perfect condition, each no longer supported by their respective manufacturers, and no longer recognized by the latest version of MacOS. It was only after I purchased a new, supported and recognized scanner (big mistake) that I discovered VueScan. The product instantly identified the id, connected scanners, and brought them back to life. The new scanner is now sitting around collecting dust. An absolutely magnificent product. Highly recommended.

What is the best scanner software to scan a document?
Almost all scanner software can scan a PDF document, but VueScan is the best because of the diverse amount of scanners it works with. You can use it on a 20 year old flatbed to the newest fast sheet feeder scanner.
Why doesn’t my PDF scanner work?
There are many reasons that your scanner software might not be working, but the most likely is because there is no scanner driver available for it on the operating system you’re using.
Our software, VueScan, solves this problem by independently reverse engineering the scanner drivers and creating a new version of them so that you can keep using the scanner you already have.
Every day thousands of people download VueScan to fix their old scanner
Now it's your turn to bring your scanner back to life - and keep it out of the landfill
