About

Scan Tailor is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages. It performs operations such as:

You give it raw scans, and you get pages ready to be printed or assembled into a PDF or DJVU file. Scanning, optical character recognition, and assembling multi-page documents are out of scope of this project.

Scan Tailor is Free Software (which is more than just freeware). It’s written in C++ with Qt and released under the General Public License version 3. We develop both Windows and GNU/Linux versions.

History and Future

This project started in late 2007 and by mid 2010 it reached production quality.

In 2014, the original developer Joseph Artsimovich stepped aside, and Nate Craun (@ncraun) took over as the new maintainer.

For any suggested changes or bugs, please consult the Issues tab.
