Papra
Turn your paper chaos into a calm, searchable archive
Papra is an open-source document management platform for collecting, organizing, securing and archiving files in one place. It addresses scattered documents across platforms by grouping them into organizations, applying tags, and providing search to locate files quickly. Documents can be added through upload or by forwarding emails to dedicated intake addresses, which extract attachments automatically. The platform supports a range of file types including PDFs, text files, code files, invoices and spreadsheets, and applies encryption in transit and at rest.
Core capabilities include organizations for teams or companies, document tagging with rules for automatic tagging, search, email ingestion via intake addresses, and a developer API with webhooks, CLI and SDK for integration into existing workflows. Papra is released under the AGPL-3.0 license and can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure.
Papra is aimed at individuals, teams and organizations managing personal or business documents. Packaging includes a free plan with limited storage, members and one intake email address, alongside paid Plus and Pro plans that raise storage, member limits, upload sizes and the number of intake addresses, with monthly or annual billing. Enterprise solutions with custom plans and dedicated support are available on request, and self-hosting is offered at no cost.
