Frequently Asked Questions

Is the image uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. No images or personal information are sent to any server. The Tesseract.js library performs OCR entirely on your device, so there is no risk of data leakage.

How do I use a vCard (.vcf) file?

iPhone: Send the file via email, then tap the attachment and select "Add to Contacts". Android: Open the .vcf file with your file manager and the contacts app launches automatically. PC: Use Import function in Outlook, Gmail, or Apple Contacts.

Does it recognize Korean business cards well?

Yes, both Korean and English business cards are supported. Using Tesseract.js's Korean recognition engine, clearly printed cards achieve over 90% accuracy. Always verify results and correct manually if needed.

What file formats are supported?

JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats are supported. Most smartphone camera photos are automatically compatible. Maximum file size is 20MB.

What information can vCard 3.0 store?

vCard 3.0 can store name (FN/N), company (ORG), title (TITLE), phone (TEL), email (EMAIL), address (ADR), website (URL), and photo (PHOTO). This tool supports the 6 main fields extractable from business cards.

What if the auto-extraction is inaccurate?

Don't worry if OCR extraction isn't perfect. Every field is directly editable. Compare with the original card image, correct any mistakes, and then generate your vCard.

Notice

  • Recognition accuracy may be lower for cards with special fonts, busy backgrounds, or glossy coating.
  • Generated vCard files contain personal information — be careful when sharing.
  • All processing is done in-browser. Data will be lost if you refresh the page.

Everything About Business Card Digitization and vCard

The fastest way to convert paper business cards into digital contacts is using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. A single photo taken with your smartphone can instantly extract name, phone, email, and company info and save it as a vCard (.vcf) file.

What is the vCard Standard?

vCard (Virtual Card) is an international standard file format (.vcf) for electronic business card information. First introduced in 1995, it is supported by all major platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Gmail, and Outlook. The vCard 3.0 standard can include name, phone, email, address, website, organization, title, and even a photo — perfectly preserving all business card information in digital form. It follows the RFC 2426 standard and stores information as field:value pairs within a VCARD block.

How OCR-Based Business Card Recognition Works

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that recognizes text from images. This tool uses the open-source Tesseract.js engine to analyze business card images. From the recognized text, email addresses are identified by the @ symbol and domain pattern, phone numbers by digit and separator patterns, and names by 2-4 Korean characters or capitalized English word combinations. Company names are detected by keywords like 주식회사, Co., Ltd., and job titles by keywords like CEO, Manager, or Korean equivalents.

Digital Transformation of Business Card Management

Paper business cards are easily lost and hard to search through. Converting cards to vCard format integrates seamlessly with smartphone contacts, CRM systems, and address book apps. Sales teams can instantly save dozens of cards received each day, and conference attendees can add contacts on the spot. On iPhone, a .vcf file received by email can be added to contacts with a single tap, and on Android it opens directly from the file app.
