What this business card scanner extracts

From business card to Excel, CSV or your CRM
The point of scanning a business card isn't to look at it on a screen — it's to get the contact into a spreadsheet without typing it. When the extraction finishes, download the result and open it straight in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers: one row per card, one column per field, ready to sort, dedupe and import.
The fields map onto the columns a CRM import expects — name, company, email, phone — so a stack of cards from a trade show becomes one import file instead of an evening of data entry. If you scan cards often, a free WhappScan account does the same over WhatsApp: photograph the card the moment you're handed it and the row is waiting for you, no laptop involved.

Frequently asked questions
Is this business card scanner really free?
Yes — no account, no card, no trial period. There's a limit of 2 pages per document and a daily limit per IP address so the tool stays available for everyone.
Can I export a scanned business card to Excel?
Yes. Download the extracted data once the scan finishes and open it in Excel, Google Sheets or any spreadsheet. The contact comes back as structured fields you can put in columns, not as a block of text you'd have to split by hand.
Does it work with cards in other languages or unusual layouts?
Yes. The AI reads the card instead of matching it against a fixed template, so designs and languages it has never seen before still come out correctly.
Can I upload a photo taken with my phone?
Yes, as long as the text is in focus. JPG, PNG and PDF all work.
Is the card stored anywhere?
The file is processed to extract the data and is not published or shared. If you want a permanent, searchable contact archive, create a free account.
How is this different from a business card scanner app?
An app scans one card at a time and lives on one phone. WhappScan does it over WhatsApp with nothing to install, so anyone on your team can send a card from their own phone and the data lands in the same place.
Scanning more than one card?
This free demo handles one card at a time. A free WhappScan account lets you send business cards, invoices and IDs straight over WhatsApp and get the data back structured — no app to install.
