Why Choose LEADTOOLS?

For over 18 years LEADTOOLS has been the standard of excellence in imaging developer tools. No other toolkit offers the depth of range of technology contained in our award-winning product line. From time-tested to industry and peer approval, here are the top ten reasons why you should choose LEADTOOLS for your imaging development needs.

Time Tested
LEAD has been shipping LEADTOOLS for over 18 years. We have a large development and support staff with extensive expertise and experience in both imaging technology and in development component design.

Royalty Free Alternatives and Flexible Licensing
LEADTOOLS' multi-level product design allows customers to purchase the basic imaging technology on a royalty free basis and at an incredible value. Our Raster Imaging SDK, at only $495.00, is an incredible value representing tens of millions of lines of code developed over tens of thousands of man hours. More specialized imaging requirements for vertical business segments (Document/Medical) may require runtime licensing, but LEAD offers several affordable licensing models. We will work with you to find a licensing model that will satisfy your deployment needs.

One SDK Vendor Who Does it All!
LEADTOOLS contains color, grayscale, document, medical, mobile, vector and multimedia imaging technologies. One CD, one development interface, one set of documentation, one tech support call, one software update, one contract…. Why deal with the hassle of using multiple vendors when you can have just one.

Free Technical Support
LEADTOOLS offers free and unlimited technical support via email and internet, and LEADTOOLS customers receive this free technical support in perpetuity. We also offer premium support options on a per case basis.

Easy to Use
LEADTOOLS is designed to make your job as easy as possible. Our job is to help you get your project done and out the door on time. We include valuable developer resources, including extensive on line documentation, sample source code, demos and tutorials, all designed to make your job easier and to allow your project to be completed sooner.

No Risk, No Worry
LEADTOOLS is available in a fully functional evaluation version. You can test all features and actually program with the evaluation copy before the purchase is made.

Acceptance by Market Leaders

Industry Leading File Format and Compression Support
LEAD is the market leader in image file format support, both in number of supported formats and depth of flavor support. There are hundreds of subtypes for popular formats such as JPEG and TIFF which have been developed over many years. If there is an image type that we do not support, we will accept the challenge and do all that we can to add it to our list. LEAD also has the best image compression in the market, supporting industry standard types and proprietary alternatives (offering superior compression) for one bit, color, motion video and audio file types.
