Business card to vCard
Take a photo of each card with your phone, upload them here, and an AI model reads the text into contact fields. Check the result as cards, fix anything, and download the .vcf.
Three steps
- 01
Photograph the cards
One card per photo, flat and well lit. Photos are shrunk in your browser before upload, so phone photos of any size work.
- 02
Let the AI read them
Press “Read cards”. Each photo is sent to a vision model that returns the name, title, company, phone, email, website and address.
- 03
Review and download
Each card becomes a contact with the photo attached. Correct anything the model misread, then download the .vcf or save a contact via its QR code.
Getting the best results
Fill the frame with the card, avoid glare on glossy cards, and keep the text horizontal. Cards with unusual fonts or two languages are usually read correctly, but always check phone numbers and e-mail addresses before importing.
What happens to the photos
Unlike the CSV and VCF tools, this one sends the photo to a third-party AI service to read the text. Do not use it for cards you are not allowed to share. The photo is attached to the contact so you can recognise the person later.
Getting the .vcf onto your device
- iPhone
- Open the .vcf from Mail, Messages, Files or AirDrop and tap “Add all contacts”. For large lists, sign in at icloud.com/contacts on a computer, choose the gear icon → Import vCard.
- Android
- Open the .vcf file on the phone and choose Contacts, or in Google Contacts go to Fix & manage → Import → select the file.
- Gmail / Google Contacts
- At contacts.google.com choose Import, pick the .vcf, and the contacts appear in your Google account (and on every phone signed into it).
- Outlook
- Outlook desktop: File → Open & Export → Import/Export → Import a VCARD file. Outlook.com: People → Manage → Import contacts.
Questions about this tool
How many cards can I scan at once?
Several per upload; each photo is processed in turn and takes roughly 5–15 seconds.
Does it work with cards in languages other than English?
Yes, as long as the script is one the AI model can read; Latin, Devanagari, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese cards are commonly fine.
Is it free?
Yes. The AI step is paid for by the site; there is no charge and no account.
Other tools
View and edit VCF files online
A .vcf is just text, but reading it is painful. Upload one or more files to see the contacts as cards, fix mistakes, add photos, scan a QR code to save a contact on a phone, and download the result.
OpenConvert CSV to VCF (vCard)
Upload a CSV, tell us which column is the name, phone and email, and download a .vcf that imports into any phone or mail app. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
OpenConvert Excel (.xlsx, .xls) to VCF
Upload the .xlsx or .xls directly. The first worksheet is converted to text inside your browser, so the workbook itself never leaves your computer. Then map the columns and download your vCards.
