How to use Business Card to vCard

Conference contacts pile up quickly. This preset normalizes lighting, sharpens type, and maps names, roles, and companies into a standards-compliant vCard so you can import leads before the follow-up window closes. It also preserves international dialing prefixes and captures secondary emails so you can sync contacts across CRM pipelines without manual tweaks.

  1. Take a quick photo of the business card or scan it, then drop the file into the uploader.
  2. Let the worker balance contrast and detect key contact fields. Progress updates will display while OCR runs.
  3. Review the parsed contact details. Edit the role or company if design accents introduced extra characters.
  4. Download the vCard file and import it into your contacts app or CRM for instant syncing.

For glossy cards, tilt the card slightly and avoid direct glare before capturing the image. Cleaner edges improve field detection and keep the vCard import step smooth. Double-check accented characters after export to ensure your CRM respects localized spellings and titles.

FAQ

Will it capture international numbers?

Yes. Phone parsing keeps the full international prefix so you can import contacts without losing country codes.

How do I import the vCard?

Download the .vcf file and open it with your contacts app. Most CRMs and address books support direct vCard imports.

Does it work on glossy cards?

Yes, but avoid harsh glare by tilting the card slightly before capturing the photo.

Is any data uploaded?

No. Parsing stays on your device so you can digitize contacts at events without network risk.
