Scan paper business cards into contacts

Someone hands you a paper card. Take a photo with Zap, front and back if it has two sides, and the details are filled in for you, ready to check and save.

How the scanner works

Zap reads the photo with AI and picks out the name, job title, company, phones, email, website, address and social profiles. You see the result before anything is saved and can fix any field.

Cards with details on both sides are read together as one contact.

Where the contact goes

Scanned people land in your Zap people list with the date you met, ready to search and tag. Save them to your phone's contacts in one tap, or export the whole list.

Privacy

The photo is used only to read the card and is deleted within a day. The contact stays in your private list; nobody else sees it.

Takes a minute. No app and no sign-up, for you or the people you meet.
