about this tool
About the business card reader
Free, no sign-up. The card image is sent once to Cloudflare Workers AI for reading, with Google Gemini as a backup when Workers AI is busy. That is the one third-party call this tool makes, and like the font finder it is labeled; the other techtuate tools run fully in your browser. We do not store the image or keep an account, and your saved contacts live only in this browser. Part of techtuate, a growing collection of little tools that just work.
questions people ask
Is there a business card scanner that works without an app?
Yes. It runs in your web browser on phone or desktop, so there is nothing to install and no account to create. Scan or upload a card and it becomes an editable contact.
Does my saved contact data leave my device?
The card image is sent once to a labeled AI service to read it and is not stored by us. Your saved phonebook is kept locally in your browser, not on our servers.
Can I export scanned cards to my phone or CRM?
Yes. You can export contacts as a vCard or CSV file and import them into your phone contacts, Google Contacts, or a spreadsheet.
