Card Scanner

Description

Card Scanner is an online business card scanner and reader that uses AI-based OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to turn physical cards into digital contacts. You upload or photograph a card, and the tool automatically extracts details such as name, email, phone number, job title, company name, and address, then exports them as a vCard (.vcf), CSV, or Excel file for easy import into contact management systems and Google Contacts.

Because it runs in the browser with no app required, Card Scanner works on desktop, mobile, and tablet, and a QR-code option lets you capture a card on your phone and upload it directly to the desktop version. Its AI-powered OCR can extract data even from blurry or pixelated card images, supports multiple languages, and handles a range of card types including visiting cards, corporate cards, and membership cards.

Additional capabilities include batch conversion to process many cards at once, multiple upload sources (local storage, URL, or cloud storage like Dropbox), and a privacy-focused approach where uploaded and converted files are deleted from the servers immediately after conversion. The wider Card Scanner platform also offers related OCR converters such as image-to-text, invoice OCR, bank statement conversion, and passport and ID card OCR.

Founded in 2020, Card Scanner is a SaaS OCR platform with Android apps and paid Pro plans starting at $4.99/month for higher-volume scanning.
