Paperless-ng is a self-hosted document management system that scans, OCRs, indexes, and archives physical documents with full-text search and automatic metadata tagging. It is a fork of the original Paperless project and has been superseded by the community-maintained paperless-ngx continuation.
Use cases
- scan and archive paper documents digitally
- self-hosted document management system
- full-text search across scanned PDFs
- automatically tag and organize scanned documents
- replace paper filing cabinets with a digital archive
- OCR scanned documents and make them searchable
When to choose
- you want a mature, self-hosted DMS with OCR and full-text search
- you prefer the original ng interface and feature set
- you need a drop-in setup matching existing paperless-ng documentation
When to avoid
- starting a new deployment - use paperless-ngx, the actively maintained continuation
- you need GnuPG-encrypted document storage
- you have very limited RAM (needs ~300MB+ for the web server)
