Bring order to your paper world. PaperAI transforms your physical documents into a digital, organized, and searchable libraryβall while putting your privacy first. SCAN EFFORTLESSLY Simply hold your camera over any document, and PaperAI automatically captures a high-quality scan when your paper is in the frame. We then create a searchable PDF with automatic text recognition (OCR) - on your device. INTELLIGENT AI Go beyond simple scanning. Our AI can analyze your documents to automatically generate a relevant title, identify the sender or recipient, find the date, and suggest smart tags. Sorting your paperwork has never been easier. You decide how this analysis happens: - Private Cloud Analysis: Use the PaperCloud for instant analysis. Your document will be deleted immediately after processing from our servers located in the European Union. - Your Own AI: Integrate with any OpenAI-compatible API, including self-hosted solutions like Ollama or services like ChatGPT and Gemini. FIND ANYTHING, INSTANTLY Once analyzed, your documents become fully searchable. Filter by title, date, correspondent, content, or AI generated tags to find exactly what you're looking for in seconds. ZERO-KNOWLEDGE CLOUD BACKUP Never worry about losing a document again. Optionally back up your files to our secure cloud with zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption. This means your documents are encrypted and decrypted only on your devices. No one, not even us at PaperAI, can ever access your files. Cross-Device Sync: Securely view and manage your scans on other devices, like your computer. Secure Uploads: Upload existing documents from your computer to the cloud, and let the PaperAI app analyze and organize them for you. OUR PROMISE: PRIVACY IS NOT FOR SALE To analyze and back up an unlimited number of documents, we offer a fair priced subscription as well document packages for one single payment. This model allows us to operate without ads and without ever selling or analyzing your personal data. Your privacy is our core feature. Important: Our strong encryption means we cannot access or reset your password. You MUST remember your password: Losing it will result in the permanent loss of access to your encrypted cloud documents.
