Step by step
How it works in ScanKeeper App
- 01
Open Bulk import
Open Actions and choose Bulk import when the codes you need are already saved as photos or screenshots.
![ScanKeeper Actions screen with folders, bulk import, archive, and CSV export]()
Bulk import lives with the app's collection tools. - 02
Select up to 50 photos
Choose the images from your gallery in one pass instead of importing every card separately.

One batch can contain up to 50 images. - 03
Let ScanKeeper scan the batch
The app checks each image for supported QR codes and barcodes directly on the device.

Recognition runs locally on the selected photos. - 04
Review every result
Readable codes arrive with their value. Add a clear name; if a photo cannot be read, fill in the missing value manually or skip it.

Keep the useful result, fix it, or skip the photo. - 05
Return to your collection
Confirm the useful cards and finish the batch. The imported cards now live in the library with the rest of your collection.

The imported card is ready to search, open, and organize.
Built for migration
Moving wallets should not mean scanning every card again
People often keep loyalty codes in a mix of old wallet apps, retailer apps, emails, and screenshots. When those images are already on your phone, re-scanning the physical card adds unnecessary work. Bulk import turns the gallery into a migration source.
Select a manageable batch, let ScanKeeper identify readable codes, and then add the human details — names, images, and folders — that make the new collection useful.
Why it helps
Designed around the real-world handoff
Up to 50 images
Replace dozens of repetitive one-at-a-time imports with a single photo selection.
Guided review
Confirm each recognized code and give it context before it enters your collection.
Local analysis
The scan runs on the device and does not require uploading your barcode images to us.
Common questions
What to know before you start
How many barcode photos can I import at once?
ScanKeeper lets you choose up to 50 photos in one bulk import batch.
What happens if an image has no readable code?
ScanKeeper reviews the selected images and reports which ones contain recognized codes, so you can continue with the successful results.
Can I name each imported card separately?
Yes. After the batch is scanned, the import flow walks you through reviewing and naming each detected code before saving the collection.
Is bulk import useful when switching from another wallet app?
Yes. If you can export or capture your existing cards as images or screenshots, bulk import reduces the repetitive work of adding them one at a time.
