How can I check that nothing is uploaded?
Your files are processed in this browser tab. This page has no function that sends files to a server, and its security rules (Content Security Policy) forbid connections to other servers.
Check it yourself: load this page, then switch on flight mode or disconnect Wi-Fi and run the tool. It still works – because everything happens on your device.
Good to know
How it works – step by step
Photograph the cards
One card per photo – straight, sharp, without glare. Many cards at once are fine.
Check the fields
Name, company, phone, e-mail, web and address are prefilled. Correct what’s off.
Save the contact
As .vcf for your address book, as CSV for Excel or a CRM – or straight to your phone via QR code.
Why FaLe?
No card limit, no account
Other apps limit the number of cards or want a subscription. Here you scan as many as you like.
Your contacts stay with you
Nothing ends up in someone else’s cloud. Recognition runs in your browser.
Straight to your phone
Show the QR code and scan it with your phone camera – the contact can be saved without any file transfer.
Smart checks
Phone numbers are written internationally (+49 …), an e-mail domain that doesn’t match the website is flagged.

Frequently asked questions
How does the contact get onto my phone?
Easiest via the QR code: scan with the camera app and save. Or open the .vcf file – all common address books on phones and computers can import it.
Can I scan many cards at once?
Yes. Choose several photos – you get all contacts in one .vcf file and as a CSV list.
What if something was misread?
All fields can be edited before saving. Under “Recognised text” you see what was read on the card.
Are the photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser. After the first visit the page also works offline.
