Digitizing photos and documents with a digital camera or scanner is easier than ever, thanks to digital scanners and apps that turn your photos, scans, and documents into a format that can be edited and shared across digital devices. While scanning with a scanner or an app is convenient, sometimes you want to scan something larger, like a book. That's where a home book scanner comes in. These small, portable machines can easily scan large book pages or bound documents so that you can send them to friends or keep them forever.

In the MOOZ Reviews Lab, our tech experts have tested more than 30 book scanners. We evaluate ease of use, speed, output quality, and output of documents or photos. Our top pick is the Brother MFC-J6510DW Wireless Color Duplex Instant Duplex Laser Scanner. If you need a scanner that can do more than just scan documents, this scanner can scan both color documents and photos at 2400 x 4800 dpi.

Our picks for the best home scanners are based on our comprehensive testing and knowledge within this category for reviewing specifications and documentation. That said, these are the best book scanners of 2022:
