How to add a loyalty or gift card to Apple Wallet

In iOS 27, Apple Wallet includes Create a Pass for manual pass creation. Its automatic photo and screenshot route requires an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 16 model or later, with regional and language limits. Img2Wallet works on iPhones running iOS 17 or later without Apple Intelligence or an account. See the photo and screenshot guide for the full distinction.

Where to get the image

• A physical card: photograph the barcode straight-on in good, even light.
• A retailer app: open the rewards card and take a screenshot.
• An email or PDF: enlarge the barcode and save or screenshot it without cropping the edges.
• A voucher or gift card: make sure the barcode number and expiry information remain available for reference.

Turn it into a Wallet pass

1. Open Img2Wallet on your iPhone.
2. Select the image using Apple's photo picker.
3. Check the detected barcode and give the pass a recognisable name.
4. Tap Generate & Add to Wallet and confirm in Apple's Wallet sheet.
5. Test the pass on your next visit before discarding the original card or email.

What Img2Wallet can and cannot preserve

The Wallet pass preserves the detected scannable code and the name you give it. It does not connect to the retailer's account, refresh balances or reproduce a rotating security code. Keep the original retailer app if you need points history, offers or live balances.

Tips for reliable scanning

• Use the original image rather than a copy sent through a messaging app.
• Keep the complete barcode visible with clear space around it.
• Avoid glare on glossy plastic cards.
• Use maximum screen brightness when a shop scanner struggles.
