Skanpage
Skanpage is a free Linux scanning application focused on multi-page documents, while also handling single-page documents and images. It works with flatbed and automatic document feeder scanners and provides configurable device options. Scanned pages can be reordered, rotated, or deleted before saving. The application exports multi-page scans as PDF documents and can save image files; OCR is included. KDE lists Skanpage under the GPL-2.0+ license. Linux installation is available through AppStream application stores or a distribution package manager, with a Flathub link. KDE provides links to the source code, bug-reporting page, and a community discussion forum. Its software privacy policy says software generally does not transmit information from a user’s device unless an explicit action occurs. KDE e.V., a registered non-profit organization, represents the KDE Community in legal and financial matters. The listed plan is free, with no free trial needed.
