Neat Scanners and Mac OS Ventura
With the release of Mac OS 13 Ventura, Neat users experienced issues with installing Neat scanner drivers and scanning with existing drivers after upgrading to Ventura. (See update below.)Unfortunately, the Ventura OS no longer recognizes the usb technology and drivers that the older Neat scanners use. Neat stopped manufacturing and selling scanners over 6 years ago and while we've been able to support them for several years since then, they are not compatible with the much newer Ventura OS. However, updated Mac drivers are now available and work with current Mac OS versions (see below).
In the meantime, Neat recommends using any of the alternative options below to get your files and data into Neat:
- Scan and upload images using the Neat mobile app
- Import image files directly into Neat
- Email items directly into Neat
- Use a third party TWAIN scanner with the Neat Desktop App.
May 2026 Update: Updated Mac drivers for Neat scanners are available. You may now download the new Neat driver for Mac.
