We have an ambitious roadmap for Paperpile.
Join our Community Forum to discuss and suggest new features.
You can already add simple notes to your references. With our web and mobile PDF viewers, you can also annotate your PDFs.
As a next step, we want to bring all your notes and annotations together in the Paperpile web app, let you add standalone notes, search and organize your notes, and integrate with your favorite note-taking apps.
Please share your feedback and find out more about our plans in our survey.
We are building a new PDF viewer experience that addresses the most frequently requested reading and annotation features while creating a more integrated and consistent workflow across devices.
Apps like Notion, Roam Research, Obsidian, or RStudio have at least two things in common: they are popular, and they are based on Markdown. That's why our goal is to provide citations and reference management for Markdown-based workflows.

Paperpile already integrates with Google Docs, Google Drive, Microsoft Word, Overleaf, and GitHub. But what about Slack, Trello, Notion, Roam Research, Gmail, [insert your favorite app here]? What integration would improve your workflow?
Preprints have become an important part of scholarly communication across all fields. We are improving our data layer to clearly distinguish between preprints and their final published versions and to better understand how they are connected.
Users will have clear options to link, merge, or replace a preprint with its published version, giving them more control and a smoother workflow when managing different versions of the same work.
We are improving search to make it faster, more accurate, and more robust across different languages and query types.
We are building a public REST-based API that will expose the core functionality of the Paperpile platform. The API will enable automation, custom integrations, and deeper connections with external tools and workflows, making it easier to extend Paperpile beyond the web app.
We are developing a comprehensive and secure MCP server that allows users to interact with their Paperpile library through AI assistants and agents that support MCP. This will enable natural-language access, automation, and advanced workflows powered by external AI tools while maintaining strict security and access controls.
We are adding support for syncing your PDFs with OneDrive. This will allow you to keep your files available across devices and accessible to other tools that integrate with OneDrive, while keeping your Paperpile library in sync.
Switch Google accounts or use Paperpile without a Google account. Use the single sign-on system of your company or institution.
We're working on a complete revamp of our Google Docs plugin. It will fix longstanding bugs that we technically couldn't address without a complete rewrite. It will also make collaboration easier with full support for Paperpile's new shared folders and shared libraries. And of course, it will add an array of user-requested features such as narrative citations and multiple bibliographies per document...
We aim to modernize our mobile apps and achieve closer feature parity with the web app where appropriate. Reading PDFs, note-taking and annotation features will be our primary focus. And yes, we're adding dark mode to our mobile apps.
When Paperpile launched, browsers had different approaches to extension development. In 2021, all major browsers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge — finally adopted a standard extension interface.
Paperpile already works in Edge and in various other Chrome-based browsers. We have now also made our extension available as private beta for Safari and Firefox and hope to release public versions soon.
Connect your Paperpile library with your favorite AI assistants. Send PDFs directly to ChatGPT, Gemini, NotebookLM, Claude, and Copilot to summarize papers, extract key findings, or get answers to your research questions. Choose from a curated library of research-focused prompts designed to help you get better, more relevant results from AI tools.
Private beta: Ask AI is currently available to a limited group of testers. Contact support@paperpile.com to request early access.
That's the most frequent BibTeX-related request. You can opt in and test the feature in Settings > Feature preview.
Although officially still in beta, our new Microsoft Word plugin is fully functional and already used by thousands of Paperpile users. Like our Google Docs plugin, we're working on a new version that better integrates with Paperpile's new features (such as shared libraries and folders) and adds many user-requested features.
A completely redesigned Paperpile web app focused on speed, usability, and a modern, flexible interface.
We are redesigning the metadata edit dialog to make editing references faster and more intuitive. The new experience reduces manual work and helps you clean up and enrich metadata with minimal effort, whether you are editing a single reference or many at once.
We are adding bulk actions for labels and folders to simplify large-scale library organization. You can delete multiple labels or folders at once, change label colors in bulk, rename labels and folders using search and replace, and merge labels to consolidate duplicates or overlapping categories.
We are expanding and refining BibTeX export to support a wider range of workflows and journal requirements. This includes support for BibLaTeX, improved handling of UTF-8 character conversion to plain BibTeX, and more advanced controls over which fields are included in exports.
We are improving the import experience to give you more control over how references, PDFs, and library structures are brought into Paperpile.
We’ve released a completely new version of our browser extension. Add labels, folders, and notes directly when you save a reference to your library; save multiple references simultaneously; download PDFs even faster.
We've received important feedback over the years from small research groups to big corporations on improving sharing and collaboration in Paperpile. That's why we’ve been working are working on a complete overhaul of those features.
