Img2Wallet · iPhone with Apple Wallet sync to a paired Apple Watch

Turn barcode images into Apple Wallet passes.

Img2Wallet is a free iOS app that converts static barcode screenshots and photos into Apple Wallet passes. The free tier permits two saved passes and shows ads. One optional lifetime Pro purchase removes every ad and allows unlimited saved passes.

Import an image, let on-device Vision Framework recognition read the barcode, and add it to your Wallet with one tap. It then follows you to your paired Apple Watch like any other pass.

The same code, ready in Wallet.

The generated pass lives natively in Apple Wallet, alongside your boarding passes, loyalty cards and tickets.

The problem

Most loyalty cards never make it to your Wallet.

Half your wallet is plastic membership cards, paper tickets and barcoded printouts that should have been in Apple Wallet from the start.

Existing tools either expect you to type in the details by hand, demand a developer-style pass setup, or hold your data indefinitely just to generate a pass.

Img2Wallet treats a static barcode image as the source. A screenshot, a clear photo of a plastic card or a saved barcode can become an Apple Wallet pass without retyping the code.

“Stop carrying plastic cards and paper barcodes. Snap, convert, scan.”

Standout feature

On-device recognition, powered by Vision Framework.

Your image goes in. A real Apple Wallet pass comes out. Recognition happens on your iPhone. The selected image goes to our server only for the signing step Apple requires.

Img2Wallet uses Apple's first-party Vision Framework and PassKit APIs for barcode detection and pass creation. Apple Wallet only accepts cryptographically signed passes, so the final signing step runs on our own server, which deletes your image as soon as the pass is signed.

There is no signup or account to manage. Pass images and content are not shared with advertisers or used for advertising. The free tier does use Google AdMob, as explained in the privacy policy.

  • Recognition for QR, PDF417, Aztec, Code 128, EAN, Data Matrix and other common formats
  • Images used only to build your pass, then deleted and not shared with advertisers
  • Native Wallet barcodes for QR, PDF417, Aztec and Code 128
  • Static image output when Apple Wallet cannot encode the recognised format natively
  • Apple Watch hand-off through Wallet sync
  • No account, no signup and no advertising use of what you convert

Features

Everything you need to go from image to Wallet.

A focused consumer app, native to iPhone. Passes can sync through Apple Wallet to a paired Apple Watch. No web dashboard, no pass-designer learning curve.

Import

Screenshots and photos

Choose a screenshot or photo from your photo library. Img2Wallet reads the selected image.

Barcodes

Multi-format support

Img2Wallet recognises QR, PDF417, Aztec, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, EAN, UPC-E, ITF, Data Matrix, Codabar, GS1 DataBar, Micro QR and Micro PDF417.

Recognition

Vision Framework

Barcode recognition powered by Apple's native Vision Framework, fast and accurate, with no manual transcription.

Output

Format-aware Wallet output

QR, PDF417, Aztec and Code 128 use native Wallet barcode objects. For other recognised formats, the server renders the same format as a static pass image and keeps the source image if it cannot verify a safe result. Version 1.5 preserves a Data Matrix symbol's detected module grid where possible.

Watch

Apple Watch sync

Apple Wallet can sync the pass to a paired Apple Watch. Whether it scans successfully still depends on the barcode and the venue's scanner.

Details

Name your card

Set the Card Name before saving so you can identify it beside your other Wallet items.

Who it's for

Built for anyone whose wallet has more cards than it should.

Static barcodes on cards and screenshots can move into Apple Wallet, subject to the barcode format and the scanner used by the issuer or venue.

Loyalty & membership

Convert plastic cards into Apple Wallet passes.

Gym memberships, coffee shop loyalty cards, supermarket clubs. Snap them once and stop carrying the plastic. Scan from your iPhone or Apple Watch instead.

Tickets & events

Get screenshot tickets out of your camera roll.

Concert tickets, cinema bookings, museum passes. Convert the confirmation screenshot into a proper Wallet pass that's quick to find and scan.

Gift cards & vouchers

Stop digging through email for that voucher code.

Pull the barcode straight from a gift card or voucher email and put it in Wallet, where you'll actually see it when you need it.

Static codes

Know which access codes can work.

Static barcodes on parking permits or conference badges may work. Img2Wallet cannot copy NFC hotel keys, transit credentials or codes that rotate and refresh.

How it works

Four steps from image to Apple Wallet.

The whole flow takes less time than finding the card in your bag.

Import

Choose a screenshot, card photo or saved barcode image from your photo library.

Auto-detect

Vision Framework reads the barcode on device, with no manual transcription of its payload.

Customise

Set the Card Name shown for the pass before adding it to Apple Wallet.

Add to Wallet

One tap adds the signed pass to Apple Wallet. Wallet can then sync it to a paired Apple Watch.

Why Img2Wallet stands out

Built for the platform, not bolted onto a generator.

Most pass-creation tools fall into two camps: web-based generators that demand manual data entry and a server upload, or developer tooling aimed at building new pass types from scratch.

Img2Wallet is neither. It is a focused consumer app, native to iPhone, that uses on-device recognition to turn images you already have into Wallet passes you can actually use, without an account or a learning curve. Those passes can sync through Apple Wallet to a paired Apple Watch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Img2Wallet?

Img2Wallet is a native iOS app that turns static barcode screenshots and photos into Apple Wallet passes. It reads the barcode on device, sends the selected image to our server for signing, and lets Apple Wallet sync the finished pass to a paired Apple Watch.

How does it create a pass from an image?

Img2Wallet uses Apple's Vision Framework to detect a barcode in the image. QR, PDF417, Aztec and Code 128 can become native Wallet barcode objects. For formats Wallet cannot encode natively, the server renders the same format as a static pass image and keeps the source image if it cannot verify a safe result. In version 1.5, Data Matrix preserves the detected symbol's module grid where possible. The signing step runs on our server, and your image is deleted when signing completes.

Which barcode formats are recognised?

Img2Wallet recognises QR, PDF417, Aztec, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-E, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Data Matrix, Codabar, GS1 DataBar, Micro QR and Micro PDF417 on supported iOS versions.

What cannot Img2Wallet convert?

Img2Wallet is for static barcodes. It cannot copy NFC hotel keys, transit access credentials or barcodes that rotate and refresh. Acceptance still depends on the scanner used by the issuer or venue.

Does it work on Apple Watch?

Yes. Once a pass is added to Apple Wallet through Img2Wallet, Apple Wallet can sync it to your paired Apple Watch. Scanning still depends on the barcode and the venue's scanner.

Are my images sent to a server?

Your image is sent to our server for the final signing step, because Apple Wallet accepts only cryptographically signed passes. It is deleted when signing completes and is not shared with advertisers or used for advertising. Full details about pass content and AdMob are in the Img2Wallet privacy policy.

Is Img2Wallet free and does it show ads?

Img2Wallet is free to download. The free tier allows two saved passes and shows a native ad on Home, a banner while adding a card, an interstitial after a successful save and eligible app-open ads. One optional lifetime Pro purchase removes every ad and allows unlimited saved passes. It can be restored and is not a subscription.

Snap. Convert. Add to Wallet.

If you've got more screenshots and plastic cards than your Wallet does, this is the fastest way to fix that.
