How do I take a picture of a business card

You don't actually need to take a separate picture of the business card with your iPhone 15 Pro Max. The built-in Camera app has a document scanning feature that can extract information from business cards. Here's how to use it:

1. Open the stock Camera app on your iPhone.
2. Hold your iPhone over the business card, making sure it's well-lit and in clear focus. You might see a yellow rectangular outline appear around the business card.
3. If the automatic scanner doesn't activate, look for a scan icon in the bottom right corner of your screen. It might look like a rectangle with angled corners. Tap that icon.
4. Your iPhone will try to recognize the text on the business card and highlight it in yellow.
5. Tap a highlighted phone number, email address, or website to perform an action like calling, sending an email, or opening the link.
6. To save the contact information, tap and hold on a highlighted detail (like a phone number).
7. Choose Add to Contacts.
8. Tap Create New Contact and fill in any additional information you want to save, then tap Done.

This way, you can quickly scan and save business card information to your iPhone's Contacts app without needing to download additional apps.

See the pic below for a pictorial representation of what is said.

If you have taken a pic of the Contact's Business Card you can assign the photo to the Contact's Profile Pic.

You may take the picture using the camera on your iPhone and the Camera app. You can then crop the picture around the edges of the business card. Save the edited image and you will have the image of the business card.

"How do I take a picture of a business card: Often people will hand me a paper business card. I would love to scan the card and save it in my contacts. I’d like to do this without a 3rd party app. How can I simply do this?"

Getting a Photo of a Business Card:

Take a photo of it using your camera, cropping. Then, take a screenshot of the photo, minimizing it to the side of business card. It's how I do mine, and the same for receipts.
