Scanner SDK for Web Applications
Compared to desktop applications, web-based applications integrated with a scanner SDK allow users to scan documents directly in the browser. This can include scanning from and scanning to remote locations. Web-based scanning SDK gives users better flexibility and convenience in document scanning.
Dynamic Web TWAIN is a TWAIN scanning software development kit (SDK) which enables you to interact with scanners from a web page. Rapid development is possible with just a few lines of JavaScript code. You can check out this scanner SDK with our online demo. This demo lets you see how Dynamic Web TWAIN works.
Cross-Platform Scanner SDK
If you are unsure about the client environment, such as the operating system or browser type, there’s no need to worry. Dynamic Web TWAIN comes with several editions which support all mainstream browsers on Windows, Linux, Mac and Mobile.
The SDK works well on both desktop computing and microcontrollers. It offers the same user experience on x86, ARM and MIPS architecture.

Image Editing
A built-in image viewer helps you easily rotate, crop, mirror, flip, erase and change the size of the scanned images. Also, you can show multiple images in one view and zoom in to see more details. The viewer can be customized to fit your usage scenarios. It is available on all platforms.
Upload and Download
Dynamic Web TWAIN provides upload and download methods via HTTP/HTTPS which allows you to upload and save images like BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and PDF files to the server-side. When uploading the images, SetHTTPFormField Method is available for you to pass additional text form fields which can carry image metadata (item Subject, Item Type, and so on) to the server-side and store the records in the database. Image compression and multi-thread are available to further shorten the image upload time.
