3 easy buttons get it done. Fast.
Old family snapshots, your personal documents - whatever you're scanning or copying, the streamlined CanoScan LiDE 25 Color Image Scanner is a snap to use. Three easy buttons automate the entire process, letting you scan, send images to your printer for copying, or prepare attachments for an e-mail. Just position your original and select the use for the image; in approximately 16 seconds your scan can be previewed on your monitor. For added convenience, one simple cable provides both power and a USB connection, reducing the number of wires around your desk.

This efficient scanner also delivers high-quality scanning performance. You'll see beautiful results, with a maximum 1200 x 2400 color dpi resolution (software enhanced resolution: 19,200 color dpi) and 48-bit color depth, for over 281 trillion possible colors. The LiDE 25 scanner comes with powerful software applications including our CanoScan Toolbox 4.9, which allows you to scan documents and then create and manipulate PDFs.

Extra convenience comes standard.
For larger projects, Multi-Scan Mode lets you scan multiple images simultaneously, rather than one by one. Just arrange them on the glass and select "Multi-Scan" - that's it! For convenience, each image is automatically saved as an individual file. The LiDE 25 scanner also comes with Quick Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (QARE) technology, which reduces much of the dust and scratches that may appear on your older originals. It even autocorrects to help with graininess, picture fading and improper backlighting. After enhancement you can archive these beautiful images and then e-mail them or print them for family and friends.

Get complete scans of bulky originals.
The unique Z-Lid™ expansion top even delivers high-quality scans of bulky items such as personal notebooks. It lifts approximately 1 inch vertically then lies down flat on the item you are scanning, for a clear, complete scan.
