Upload and capture
- Drag & drop several files at once (also usable by keyboard)
- PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF; the file type is checked by content on the server
- Duplicate detection by SHA-256 checksum before the upload starts
- Preview thumbnails for images and the first PDF page
- Choose a category while uploading

Text recognition (OCR)
- Text in PDFs is read directly; scanned PDFs and photos are recognised with Tesseract.js
- Recognition runs in the browser – no server software required, works on shared hosting
- Re-run recognition for single documents or many at once
- German and English language data; other Tesseract languages can be configured

Search and organise
- Search title, file name, notes and recognised text (substring or MySQL full-text mode)
- Filter by category and file type, sort by date, title and size
- Document date and notes for every document
- Joomla categories and access levels

Front end
- Menu item "Document list" for one or more categories, optionally including subcategories
- Search, date, type and category filters for visitors
- Detail view with preview and download
- Visibility follows published state and access levels of the document's category and all parent categories
- Own styling via CSS files or template overrides

Security
- Files are stored in the database and only delivered through Joomla with permission checks
- CSRF protection, Joomla ACL for upload, edit and delete
