Turn a Business Card Photo Into a Contact

Turn a photo of a business card into a vCard contact. On-device OCR finds the name, company, phone, and email. Download .vcf or scan a QR code into your phone. No signup.

1
Add the card photo
Drop a photo of the business card, pick one from your gallery, or take a shot with the camera. Flat, glare-free photos read best.
2
Check the fields
OCR fills in name, company, title, phones, emails, website, and address. Every field is editable before you export.
3
Save the contact
Download the .vcf file, copy the vCard text, or scan the QR code with your phone to import the contact directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fields are detected?

Name, company, job title, phone numbers, email addresses, website, and street address. Emails, phones, and URLs are pattern matches and very reliable; name and company come from layout heuristics, so glance over them before saving.

What is a .vcf file?

vCard — the universal contact format. iPhone, Android, Outlook, and Gmail all import it. One tap on the file adds the contact.

How does the QR import work?

The QR code contains the whole vCard. Open your phone camera, point it at the code on screen, and the phone offers to add the contact — no file transfer needed.

Does the card photo leave my device?

No. The OCR model runs in your browser, so the photo and the extracted contact stay on your machine.
