## What is PaperJet?

PaperJet is a platform for extracting structured data from documents, all while using your own infrastructure.

### Features

* Structured data extraction - define a schema and extract it from any supported document (docx, pdf, images)
* Fully open-source - The web and self-hosted versions have the same feature set
* Zero cloud dependencies - PaperJet doesn't depend on any cloud services. Everything is self-contained in Docker
* Built for large documents: easily ingest hundreds of pages at once
* Use any LLM with your own keys (BYOK)
* supports major cloud providers like OpenAI and Gemini
* local providers: VLLM, LM Studio and Ollama
