The Business Card Scanner
AI-powered extraction from business card photos
The business card scanner uses AI vision to extract contact information from photos of business cards. Upload a photo, and Zyntro identifies the name, email, phone, company, title, and any other visible details.
Access it from Sales > CRM > Contacts > Card Scanner, or via the quick action button on the Contacts Dashboard.
Steps
Upload the front of the card
The front image is required. Drag and drop or click to upload. Supported formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF (max 10MB each). A preview appears after selection.
Optionally add the back and supporting images
If the card has information on the back, upload that too. You can also add up to 3 supporting images for additional context — for example, a photo of a conference badge, a booth sign, or meeting notes that provide context about where you met this person.
Scan and extract
Click Scan & Extract Data. The AI processes the images and extracts contact information. This costs $0.05 per scan. Processing takes a few seconds.
Review extracted data
The scanned contact review page shows all extracted fields in an editable form — name, email, phone, company, title, and any other detected information. Review each field and correct any extraction errors.
Unless you skip it, entity selection appears — the AI may have already matched the extracted company name to an existing entity.
Save as contact
After reviewing, select an owner, pipeline stage, and optionally add to lists. Click Save to create the contact. The source is automatically tagged as "Card Scanner."
Important: First Name and Primary Email are both required before this screen will save. A card with no email address on it will not go through — add one, or create the contact manually and attach the card image afterwards.
Result
A new contact is created from the business card data, enriched with AI extraction, and ready for SI engagement.
Tip: There are two ways to scan from a phone, and they are not the same thing.
The QR code on this screen opens a scanner-only page in your phone's browser. Nothing needs to be installed and nobody needs to sign in, so it suits handing a phone round a trade stand — but it does only scanning, and it asks for a country before it will save.
Zyntro Mobile is the paired app, and it carries the rest of the CRM with it. If you scan cards regularly, install that instead.
