Paperless-ngx
Digitize and organize physical documents with an open-source management system. Store data locally, perform OCR, and search your entire archive instantly.
Transform your physical paperwork into a highly organized, searchable digital archive. This open-source document management system ensures your data remains completely private by storing it locally on your own server. It automatically performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on all uploaded files, making even image-based scans fully searchable and selectable. The system utilizes advanced machine learning to automatically assign tags, correspondents, and document types, saving you hours of manual data entry. You can easily find exactly what you need using the full-text search feature, complete with auto-completion and relevance sorting. The modern web interface offers a customizable dashboard, drag-and-drop uploading, and bulk editing capabilities. Additionally, you can automate your workflow by configuring email processing rules to import documents directly from your inbox, all protected by a robust multi-user permissions system.
