Key features:

Transform scanning workflow
With one touch of the Scan button, ScanSnap Cloud automatically classifies scanned data into four categories: documents, receipts, business cards, and photos. You can simply set profiles for each category by selecting the cloud service of your choice in ScanSnap Cloud, so that it automatically sorts and delivers each piece to its predetermined cloud service. This enables convenient, device-less scanning by eliminating the need for document sorting and selection of output destination.



Automatic and intelligent functions

Simplify your workflow by eliminating the need to adjust scan settings or provide file names thanks to various innovative features. Since ScanSnap Cloud is highly secured, there is no need to worry about security for your data.


  • Image optimization
    Before delivering scanned documents to selected cloud services, ScanSnap Cloud optimizes scanned images with its advanced functions: Automatic Color Detection, Automatic Size Detection, Automatic Rotation and Blank Page Removal.
  • Name assist
    Files are automatically named using extracted keywords and dates from scanned documents.
  • Searchable PDF Creation
    Searchable PDF files can be produced on ScanSnap Cloud*2. Perform keyword searches on your documents using all of your favorite document management cloud services.
  • Security
    ScanSnap Cloud utilizes Microsoft Azure™, known throughout the world to provide protection for cloud data with its robust security platform.


Capture and access data anywhere anytime

The smart device capture functionality*3 allows you to scan important documents on-the-go, or even when your ScanSnap scanner is out of reach. This function maximizes the convenience and flexibility that one-button scanning delivers.
