Papermerge Documentation

Note

This documentation is under active development. We aim to have it completed by the release of Papermerge Cloud (November 2026).

Papermerge DMS (or simply Papermerge) is a document management system (DMS) designed for digital archives and long-term document storage. It helps you organize scanned documents and born-digital files using custom fields, categories, and metadata-driven workflows rather than traditional folder structures.

Papermerge provides the look and feel of modern desktop file browsers with features like dual-panel document browsing, drag and drop, tags, full-text search, and hierarchical folders. Documents can be automatically organized using custom fields and filing rules.

Papermerge is GoBD compliant.
