How to convert a business card into a contact
OCR reads the printed text, then you decide which details belong in the contact.
Step 2
Review the extracted details
Check the suggested name, company, phone numbers, emails, website and address against the card.
Step 3
Download the contact
Save the reviewed details as a VCF file, then open or import it in your contacts app.
Contact fields you can check and edit
Business card layouts vary, so automatic field suggestions are only a starting point. The downloaded VCF uses the values in your review form.
- Display and structured name
- Company and job title
- Multiple phone numbers
- Multiple email addresses
- Website
- Postal address and notes
Before you import the contact
Check similar characters such as O and 0, country codes, email spelling and whether the person's name and company were placed in the correct fields. The tool downloads a VCF; it does not add the contact automatically.

Photograph one card at a time and keep all four edges visible.
Use even lighting and change the angle if glossy paper creates glare.
Keep the camera parallel to the card so lines of text stay straight.
Review every contact field before importing; unclear text may need manual entry.
