About Paperarchive

Paperarchive turns incoming paper and PDFs into a searchable archive with little effort. You forward a document by email, upload it in the app or send it through the API, and the AI reads, categorizes and summarizes it, pulling out tags, amounts and dates. A detail view shows extracted data, related documents and AI insights together.

Search works in plain language across the full content of every document, including scans and handwritten notes. The site gives examples such as client invoices, doctor's letters and rental statements, and it also covers digitizing receipts in a way described as GoBD-compliant, relevant for German bookkeeping.

Hosting is in Germany: files and database sit in Frankfurt with backups kept in Germany, text recognition runs on Google Cloud in the EU, and AI models run in Microsoft's EU data centers. The site says content is never used to train AI models and that deleting means permanent deletion. There is a 30-day free trial, then up to 100 documents free, and the paid plan is listed at 149 euros per year.
