scanservjs is a self-hosted web UI frontend for SANE-compatible scanners, letting you share one or more scanners over a network from a Linux host or Docker container. It supports cropping, ADF/flatbed selection, multipage scanning with double-sided collation, and output to TIF, JPG, PNG, PDF, or TXT via Tesseract OCR.

Use cases

  • share a SANE scanner over the network via a browser
  • scan documents to PDF or searchable text from a web UI
  • use an old scanner without vendor drivers or bloated software
  • trigger scans remotely when scanner buttons are broken
  • run a scanner server in Docker on a NAS or Raspberry Pi
  • scan double-sided multipage documents with collation

When to choose

  • you have a SANE-compatible scanner on a Linux host or Docker-capable device
  • you want browser-based scanning without vendor software
  • you need OCR output or multipage/duplex scanning
  • you want to share one scanner among multiple users on a network

When to avoid

  • your scanner is not SANE-compatible or you are on Windows/macOS without a Linux host or VM
  • you need a native desktop scanning application
  • you require TWAIN or WIA driver support
