Tips for Perfect Scans

A few simple steps ensure the AI extracts every detail accurately from any business card.

Tips for photographing business cards for accurate AI scanning
01

Lighting & Background

Place the card on a plain, contrasting surface (white card β†’ dark surface, dark card β†’ light surface). Use natural light or a well-lit room. Avoid direct flash which creates glare, and avoid dim lighting which reduces text clarity.

Best surfacesPlain dark wood, matte white paper, solid-color fabric
AvoidPatterned backgrounds, direct flash, harsh shadows across the card

Good contrast between the card and the background is the single biggest factor in extraction accuracy.

02

Angle & Focus

Photograph the card from directly above (90Β° angle) to avoid perspective distortion. Hold your phone steady or rest it on an object to avoid motion blur. Ensure the entire card fits in the frame with a small margin around the edges.

Ideal angleStraight down (90Β°) so all text appears flat and undistorted
Card framingLeave a small border around the card in the photo

Perspective distortion (photographing at an angle) is the most common cause of missed characters.

03

Card Condition

Slightly creased or bent cards can still be scanned. Flatten them gently before photographing. Very worn, stained, or heavily embossed-only cards (no printed text) may produce lower accuracy results. Cards in any language are supported.

Works wellNew, used, slightly bent, multilingual, QR-code cards
May reduce accuracyHeavily creased, water-damaged, embossed-only cards

Even imperfect cards usually yield useful results. The AI will extract whatever is legible.

Note: This tool is designed for extracting contact information from business cards. It does not store your card images or contact data beyond the current session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information can it extract from a business card?

The AI extracts all visible text fields: full name, job title, company name, all phone numbers (mobile, office, fax), email addresses, website URLs, physical address, LinkedIn and social media profiles, and any additional taglines or service descriptions printed on the card.

Does it work with non-English business cards?

Yes. The AI supports cards in dozens of languages including Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and more. For best results with non-Latin scripts, ensure the text is clearly visible and well-lit.

Can I scan both sides of a business card?

Yes. Simply scan each side as a separate image. Many business cards have additional information on the back, such as alternate phone numbers, social profiles, and maps, and the AI will extract all of it just as accurately.

Is my business card data stored or shared?

No. The image is processed in real-time and the extracted data is returned only to you. Card images and extracted contact details are not stored in a database or shared with third parties.

What if the card has a QR code instead of printed text?

The AI can detect and read QR codes embedded in business cards and extract the URL or contact data encoded within them. If the QR code links to a vCard or website, that link will be included in the Quick Actions section of the result.
