Scan business cards. Save and organize them. Export to your favorite cloud services.
Turn business cards into useful contacts with Business Card Reader for iPhone. Scan a card, review the recognized details, and save it to your phone address book with the card picture as the contact photo.
SCAN AND ORGANIZE
• Recognize text on your iPhone with on-device OCR.
• Scan one card or capture several in batch mode.
• Import a card photo or add a contact manually.
• Review names, companies, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, and notes before saving.
• Search your collection, add tags and favorites, and keep the original card image.
• Find people on LinkedIn by searching their name and company. A profile URL is optional.
SAVE AND EXPORT
Save reviewed contacts to your iPhone address book or share an individual vCard. Pro adds CSV and multiple-card exports, Google Drive and Dropbox through their installed Files providers, and Salesforce export. Direct Salesforce integration requires your organization to configure an OAuth client. Import existing contacts from your phone or a vCard backup for free.

Start with 10 free scans. After that, complete an optional rewarded video to unlock another 10 scans, subject to ad availability, or subscribe to Pro.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

A fresh native iPhone experience with Liquid Glass controls and guided onboarding. Scan individual cards or batches with on-device text recognition, then save reviewed details and the card picture to Contacts.
New in 4.0: nine additional languages, subtle animations, optional sounds and haptics, a prominent Pro upgrade banner, and free import from phone contacts or vCard backups. Find people on LinkedIn by name and company.
Start with 10 free scans, then choose an optional rewarded video for 10 more or Pro for unlimited scans, no ads, and additional exports.
For existing users: earlier files are preserved, but the new app cannot directly read the old database. Import contacts already in your phone address book or a .vcf backup from Settings → Import contacts.
