How do I scan a stack of business cards quickly?

Lay out up to 25 business cards in a 5×5 grid on a flat surface, take a photo, and upload it to Contacts4us at contacts4.us/scan-cards. The AI-powered scanner extracts contact details from all cards in the photo simultaneously at 98% overall accuracy (100% on names, 99% on email, 96% on phone). Upload up to 10 photos per batch for 250 total contacts.

What is the best business card scanner for conferences and trade shows?

Contacts4us is ideal for conferences because it handles bulk scanning — up to 250 cards per batch at 98% overall accuracy (25 per photo, 10 photos per upload). Unlike CamCard or CardScanner.io which require one card per photo, Contacts4us scans multiple cards per photo. It works on any phone browser with no download required.

Is the Contacts4us card scanner free?

Yes, the business card scanner is free to use with no account required. Scanned contacts can be exported immediately. Premium features like contact management, notes, and event tracking start at $3.50 for a week pass.

Can I export scanned business cards to my phone contacts?

Yes. Contacts4us exports to VCF (vCard) format which is compatible with iPhone, Android, Google Contacts, and most CRM systems. It also supports CSV export for spreadsheets and databases. The vCard format supports Apple HEIM/iCloud format for iPhone users.

Do I need to download an app to scan business cards?

No. Contacts4us is a web-based scanner that works in any mobile browser — no download required to try it. Just go to contacts4.us/scan-cards, take a photo of your business cards, and upload. It works on iPhone, Android, tablets, and desktop.

How does Contacts4us compare to CamCard and other business card scanners?

Contacts4us is the only browser-based scanner that photographs multiple cards in a single image. CamCard, ScanBizCards, HubSpot, Google Lens, and Haystack all require one card per photo. For 25 business cards, Contacts4us takes about 10 seconds (one photo) at 98% overall accuracy while single-card scanners take 8-12 minutes. Contacts4us also requires no download — it works in any browser.

Can I integrate the business card scanner with my CRM?

Yes. Contacts4us supports webhook integrations that send real-time events (contact.created, contact.updated, contact.deleted, contact.batch_created) to any CRM or system that accepts webhooks, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and custom systems. Contacts4us also works with Zapier, Make, and n8n to connect to 6,000+ downstream apps without code. Webhook payloads are signed with HMAC for security.

What is the fastest way to digitize business cards after a networking event?
