Contact Scanner: Phone & Email

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.

WHAT IT READS • Names — first and last name detected automatically, with titles like Dr. and Mag. handled • Company and job title • Multiple phone numbers with the right labels (mobile, office, fax, WhatsApp) • Email addresses and websites • Postal addresses, even when split across lines

REACH OUT IN ONE TAP • Call, text or FaceTime • Open WhatsApp directly — international numbers are handled for you • Email, open the website, or open the address in Maps

STAY ORGANIZED • Categories: Personal, Work, Client, Supplier, Family • Private notes — where you met, what you agreed • Favorites and a searchable history grouped by day • Filter history by category or by contacts you haven't saved yet • Spots numbers that are already in your address book

SAVE AND SHARE • Add to Contacts with every field filled in, labels included • Save several scanned contacts at once • Export any contact — or your whole history — as a vCard (.vcf) • Extract contacts from text you copied (a message, an email signature, a web page)

BUILT FOR SPEED • Live camera with tap-to-focus, pinch-to-zoom and flashlight • Scan only what's inside the frame for cleaner results • Works with photos and screenshots from your library • Light and dark mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN All recognition happens on-device using Apple's Vision framework. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Your scans stay on your phone.

Contact Scanner is free.
