Deploy Papermerge in one click installation.
Open-source document management system with automatic OCR, full-text search, and tag-based organization for all your scanned paperwork.
What you can build with Papermerge
Papermerge is an open-source document management system designed to turn physical paperwork into a searchable, organized digital archive. Upload PDFs or scanned images and Papermerge automatically extracts text via OCR, making every invoice, contract, and receipt instantly findable by content. Tag-based organization, folder hierarchies, and custom metadata fields give you fine-grained control over how documents are structured and retrieved. Multi-user support with role-based permissions makes it suitable for small businesses and professional practices alike.
Self-hosting Papermerge on your own VPS means sensitive financial records, legal documents, and personal files never leave your infrastructure. You avoid monthly cloud storage fees while gaining unlimited document capacity, the ability to enforce custom retention policies, and the flexibility to integrate with existing workflows through Papermerge's REST API.
Key features of Papermerge
Automatic OCR Extraction
Papermerge extracts searchable text from PDFs and scanned images automatically on upload, turning a pile of scanned paperwork into a queryable database.
Full-Text Search
Search across the complete content and metadata of every document in your archive, with filters by date, tags, and custom fields for pinpoint retrieval.
Tag and Folder Organization
Combine folder hierarchies with flexible tags and custom metadata fields to build an organization structure that matches how your business actually works.
Multi-User Permissions
Role-based access control lets teams share a single document archive while keeping sensitive files visible only to authorized users.
PDF Page Operations
Merge, split, and reorder PDF pages directly inside Papermerge, eliminating the need for a separate PDF editor when cleaning up scanned documents.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
