The Problem

Browsers were never designed to talk to scanner hardware.

Modern enterprise applications increasingly need document capture — but the browser layer stops at the operating system boundary. Teams end up building custom desktop and driver layers from scratch.

01

Browser gap

Web pages cannot directly access TWAIN or WIA drivers — secure local communication is required.

02

Hidden infrastructure

Native services, driver handling, image processing, PDF generation — all before any product feature ships.

03

Expensive alternatives

Commercial web-scanning SDKs can approach $20k+ for enterprise licensing scenarios.

Our Solution

A clean SDK that hides hardware complexity.

ScanBridge gives your product a simple browser API while a lightweight local service handles every device, every driver and every quirk underneath.

Web Application

Angular, React, Vue or plain JavaScript. UI & business logic.

Simple browser API

ScanBridge SDK

Local service over secure localhost. Manages drivers & devices.

Installed once
TWAIN / WIA

Scanner Hardware

Office & production devices. ADF, duplex, multi-page, all supported.

  • Simple API for the web application
  • Local service manages hardware communication
  • Scans, previews & PDFs handled in one workflow
  • No browser plugins — no extension store, no friction
Core Features

Enterprise-grade scanning, made browser-friendly.

Everything your product team needs to ship document capture — without owning the underlying hardware stack.

Automatic scanner detection

Discovers connected devices on the user's machine without any configuration.

TWAIN & WIA support

Two industry standards, one consistent API. Compatible with most office & production scanners.

ADF & duplex scanning

High-volume document feeders and double-sided capture handled out of the box.

Resolution & color controls

DPI, color mode, brightness and contrast — exposed cleanly to the browser layer.

PDF generation

Server-grade multi-page PDF output, ready to attach, archive or upload directly from the browser.

Page preview & management

Reorder, rotate and remove pages before export — directly in your application.

Localhost-secure

The browser only talks to a service on the user's own machine — no cloud round-trip for raw scans.

Style to your product

The widget UI can be themed to match your application. White-label friendly on Enterprise plans.

How it works

Three steps from install to live document capture.

  1. 01

    Install the local service

    A lightweight desktop component the user installs once. Runs quietly in the background. No browser plugins required.

  2. 02

    Drop the SDK in your web app

    Add the ScanBridge widget or call the JavaScript API directly. Works with Angular, React, Vue and plain JS.

  3. 03

    Detect • Configure • Scan • Export

    Detect devices, configure options, start the scan, then export previewed pages as PDF or image output.

Hours, not weeks. Your team enables document scanning in less than a day instead of building a custom stack.
