Contact Scanner: Phone & Email

Scan cards, save & WhatsApp

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

New: auto-detects the name, company & job title. Add categories and notes, and open WhatsApp straight from the scan. Free, private, on-device. Turn any business card, flyer, sign or screenshot into a contact — in seconds. Point the camera at a card and Contact Scanner reads the name, company, job title, phone numbers, email, website and address, then lets you save it to your Contacts, message on WhatsApp, or share it as a contact card. Everything runs on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded.
