AmbirScan is a Windows program that allows you to scan and manage your documents. With it, you can export business cards to Outlook as well as upload your files to various cloud storage services. Before installing the software, make sure that your scanner drivers are up to date. It is possible to find the newest versions on the official website.

Scanning options

After launch, you will be greeted with a simple, wizard-like interface. Ambir contains several adjustable settings which may be tailored to better suit your requirements. In the main window, you can select the scanner you wish to use, the file format and save path as well as the color profile. There are four options to pick from, such as Color, Grayscale and B&W.

Moreover, you are able to choose a custom file name and specify the scanning method. Auto Scan is the default setting. When it is enabled, any card or document inserted into the scanner will be automatically processed. You can also activate the manual scanning via the Scan button. Once you have saved your documents or cards, you may expand the preview window to view your image.

Viewing documents

The My Scans section displays a list of all saved scans. There are 3 ways to view them, including Thumbnail, List and Detailed List. The latter is the default option, but you can change it at any time. In this menu, you are able to see any completed scan, as well as rename or delete it. Unfortunately, it is not possible to edit images. However, you have the option to use other software for this purpose like Photshop.
