How it works

  1. 1

    The AI reads every field on the card — name, contact details, social profiles, and address — and structures it cleanly.

  3. 3

    Switch to vCard and hit Download to get a .vcf file you can open instantly in Contacts, Gmail, or Outlook.

Why use an AI business card scanner?

  • Full card extraction

    Reads name, title, company, department, all contact details, social handles, and address in one pass.

  • vCard, Markdown, JSON

    vCard (.vcf) for instant contact import, Markdown for notes, JSON for developer and CRM workflows.

  • One-click vCard import

    Download a .vcf file and open it to add the contact to Apple Contacts, Google, or Outlook instantly.

  • Never fabricates data

    Fields not visible on the card are omitted — the AI does not guess or fill in missing values.

  • Reads in seconds

    Results appear almost immediately — no batch processing or waiting for a queue.

  • History saved

    Every scanned card is saved so you can revisit, re-export, or copy any past contact at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to use this tool?
Yes — a signed-in account is required because the extraction runs on our servers and uses credits.
What types of business cards work best?
Standard printed cards work best. Embossed, metallic, or very dark cards may produce less accurate results. Ensure the image is well-lit and the text is in focus.
What contact information is extracted?
The AI extracts full name (with first and last name split), job title, company, department, email addresses, phone, mobile, fax, website, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, and full address including city, state, country, and zip code.
What is the vCard format?
vCard (.vcf) is the universal standard format for contact exchange. You can open a .vcf file to instantly add the contact to Apple Contacts, Google Contacts, Outlook, or any CRM that supports contact import.
What is the difference between Markdown, vCard, and JSON?
Markdown gives a structured, human-readable summary — good for notes and docs. vCard (.vcf) is the standard contact file format — download it and open it to import the contact into your address book in one click. JSON gives the full structured object — useful for developers and CRM APIs.
Can I scan multiple cards?
Each scan extracts one card at a time. Your scan history is saved, so you can scan cards one by one and access all results later from the History panel.
Can I download the contact?
Yes — switch to vCard format and click Download to save a .vcf file. Opening it will prompt your OS or email client to import the contact directly.
