CanoScan LiDE 700F
CanoScan LiDE 700F is Canon's scanning software and driver suite for the LiDE 700F flatbed scanner. It enables document, photo and film scanning with options for color correction, resolution adjustment, and file format export. The software integrates with the scanner hardware to deliver digitised copies of physical media to a Mac. Canon no longer actively maintains drivers for this older scanner model on modern operating systems.

1 suggestionCanon has not shipped a native Apple Silicon build of the CanoScan LiDE 700F driver software. The Intel-only version will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). However, a practical path forward exists: VueScan, a third-party universal scanning application from Hamrick Software, has reverse-engineered support for the LiDE 700F and runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. VueScan is regularly updated, maintains compatibility with the latest macOS releases, and works with documents, photos, film and slides. It costs around USD 40 for the Pro version with additional features, or you can try the free evaluation version first. Download VueScan from hamrick.com, install it, and connect your LiDE 700F scanner as usual — VueScan will handle the communication with the hardware on Apple Silicon without relying on Canon's outdated drivers.
