Business card scanner
Scan a business card. Keep the person.
uKeep's business card scanner turns any card into a contact in seconds, the first step to remembering who you met. Point your camera at a card, check the details it reads, and save the person to your phone's contacts. It works the same on visiting cards.

How it works
- 1
Point your camera
Open uKeep and hold the card inside the frame. No cropping, no typing.
- 2
Check the details
Every field is filled in for you. Fix anything before you save; nothing is stored until you do.
- 3
Save and follow up
Save it to your phone's contacts in one tap, then call, email or WhatsApp straight from the card.
What it reads from a card
One photo fills a whole contact, each detail in the right field. Two phone numbers without labels, or a title split over two lines, are the usual things worth a second look, which is why you check every card before it's saved. More in how accurate business card scanners are.
- First and last name
- Job title
- Company
- Mobile and office phone
- Website
- Address
More than a scanner
Saves to your real contacts
One tap adds the card to your phone's address book, so the person shows up when they call. uKeep only adds the contact you chose; it never reads your address book.
Organized from the first scan
Pick a category as you save (Leads, Customers, Network, or your own) and add a note about where you met.
Find anyone later
Search every card by name, company or job title.
Follow up in one tap
Call, email or WhatsApp from the card itself.
Backed up to your account
Sign in on a new phone and every card is there.
Private by design
Your contacts are yours alone. We never sell them or share them with advertisers.

How accurate is the scanner?
In uKeep's own usage data from September 2026, a scan filled in an average of 7.6 of the 9 fields it looks for, and most corrections people made were to a single field. You always check the result before saving.
How long does a scan take?
About 4 seconds from photo to result on a good connection. Checking the details takes most people around 17 seconds.
Does it work as a visiting card scanner?
Yes. A visiting card is a business card by another name, and uKeep reads it the same way: name, title, company, phone numbers, email, website and address.
Does the scanner work offline?
Reading a card needs an internet connection. If a saved card can't upload because you're offline, it stays on your phone and uploads when you're back online.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, uKeep is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
