Digitize Documents - Simple, Fast, Secure
Scan, photograph or forward by email. Paperarchive sorts every document and makes it searchable. Hosted in Germany, never used to train AI.
Documents Everywhere, Findable Nowhere
Contracts in a drawer, statements in your inbox, the warranty somewhere in a folder. When you actually need a document, the search starts from scratch.
The one contract you need is never where you look
Paper folders grow faster than you can sort them
Important letters scanned but buried in a downloads folder
No idea which version of a document is the current one
One Place for Every Document
Send a document any way you like and Paperarchive takes it from there: read, sorted and searchable, without folder structures you have to maintain.
Every word inside a document becomes searchable
Sender and document type recognized automatically
Scans, photos and PDFs treated the same
Forward by email and the document files itself
How Digitizing Documents Works
Bring the document in
Scan it, photograph it with your phone, upload a PDF or forward it by email to your Paperarchive address.
Text recognition reads it
OCR makes every word searchable, even in photos you took in a hurry.
Sorted automatically
Paperarchive recognizes the type and sender and files the document in the right category for you.
Found in seconds
Type what you remember and the document appears, instead of clicking through folders.
„I just forward my incoming mail by email, and it is simply there when I need it. I stopped thinking about organizing documents entirely.“

How do I digitize my documents?
Scan a document, photograph it with your phone, upload a PDF or forward it by email to Paperarchive. The text recognition makes everything searchable and files the document automatically.
Do I need a scanner to digitize documents?
No. A photo from your phone is enough. Paperarchive handles photos just as well as scanner PDFs or documents you forward by email.
Are my documents used to train AI?
No. Your documents are never used to train AI models. They sit encrypted in German data centers and belong to you alone.
