Introduction

paperless-ngx is an open-source document management system designed to help users digitize and efficiently manage paper documents. It allows users to automatically classify and index files by scanning or uploading PDFs or images, and supports full-text search and tag management. The core goal of the project is to make “paperless office” simple and automated.

For me, the main advantage is that files are automatically OCR’d after uploading, so when I need a document, I can just search for it—very convenient.
