Business Card Scanner — AI OCR by Exporb

Scan business cards with AI. Drag any card image, get structured contacts — CSV, Excel, JSON. Free with an Exporb account.

📇 Stop Typing Business Cards by Hand You come back from a conference with 47 business cards. A trade show with 120. A networking event with 30. And now you're staring at a stack of cards knowing you'll spend the next two hours typing names, titles, companies, emails, and phone numbers into your CRM. Business Card Scanner by Exporb solves this in seconds. Drag any business card image into the popup. Our AI reads the card — name, title, company, email, phone, LinkedIn, website, address, and 20+ other fields — and gives you structured contact data ready to export. One drag. One click. Done. ⚡ Powered by Exporb AI This isn't basic OCR that gives you garbled text. We use Exporb's advanced AI vision engine — the same technology that powers our flagship trade show lead capture platform used by thousands of exhibitors and sales teams. It understands business card layouts, distinguishes between work and personal contact details, handles unusual fonts and designs, and works across multiple languages. 🧠 What the AI Extracts (27 Fields) Core Contact • Full Name • Title / Job Role • Company / Organization • Department • Email Address • Phone Number • Website URL • Domain Name Scan business cards to save contact details faster. The extension 15+ social and messaging contact information from business cards, including profile links and usernames, then lets you copy or save the extracted details. Location • Street Address • City • State / Province • Postal Code • Country • Time Zone Event-Specific (for trade shows & conferences) • Attendee Role (buyer, seller, exhibitor, visitor) • Booth Number Every field is optional — the AI extracts whatever it finds on the card. No fake data. No hallucinations about what it can't read. 📤 Export Formats — Ready for Any Workflow CSV — Clean comma-separated values. Drops straight into Excel, Google Sheets that can be imported to any CRM Sprearsheets (XLSX) — Native .xlsx format with proper columns, headers, and frozen top row.

All exports are generated client-side in your browser. Your contact data never leaves your machine during export. 🔒 Privacy-First Design Your business card images go directly from your browser to Exporb's secure backend for AI processing, then the extracted text comes back. Images are processed in memory and not stored permanently. Export files are generated locally in your browser — no upload required. We don't sell your data, don't train on your cards, don't share with third parties. Authentication goes through your Exporb account. Google sign-in available.

Instead of a stack of paper in your suitcase, you leave with a clean CSV ready for your follow-up sequence. Scan on the spot, export at the end of the day, email everyone by Monday morning. Sales Teams & BDRs Every card is a lead. Why wait until you're back at your desk?

Those require you to pull out your phone, open an app, frame the card, wait, correct OCR mistakes, then figure out how to get the data to your computer. This extension lives in your browser toolbar — the same place you check email, manage your CRM, and do actual work. ...manual typing? A stack of 50 cards takes roughly 2–3 hours to type accurately. This extension does it in under 5 minutes. At your hourly rate, that's a no-brainer. ...ChatGPT / Claude / generic AI? General-purpose AI chatbots aren't built for structured contact extraction. They miss fields, hallucinate details, and give you plain text you still need to format. Business Card Scanner returns structured JSON with consistent field names every time — ready for your workflow. ...expensive enterprise OCR solutions? Those cost hundreds per month, require IT setup, and are overkill for what most people need.
