An image inputting device comprises a base having an object resting surface on which an object rests, an image pickup unit, a reflecting unit having a reflecting surface for reflecting a light from the object and introducing the light to the image pickup unit, and a holding unit disposed on the base to be rotatable about a first axis parallel to the object resting surface. The image pickup unit is rotatable about a second axis disposed on the holding unit, and the reflecting unit is rotatable about a third axis disposed on the holding unit.
