VintaSoft Imaging .NET SDK is the impressive and easy-to-use image processing library for programming in .NET environment, which provides the abilities to load, view, convert, manage, print, capture from camera and save images of single page or multipage images.

VintaSoft Imaging .NET SDK is a core component that can be complemented with functions of related Plug-ins in any combination: Image Annotations, PDF Visual Editor/Reader/Writer, JBIG2 codec, JPEG2000 codec, DICOM decoder, Document Cleanup, OCR and OMR/Forms Processing. The Plug-ins cannot be used separately from the core SDK.

The advantageous combination of VintaSoft Imaging Family products is VintaSoft Document Imaging Bundle, which perfectly suits for use in digital document imaging workflow and electronic documents circulation systems.

Two editions of VintaSoft Imaging .NET SDK are available to be licensed: Standard and Standard + WPF.
