## Why Research Teams Choose Paperpile

Researchers lose valuable time wrestling with disorganized PDFs, inconsistent citations, and fragmented collaboration tools. Paperpile eliminates these pain points with a clean, intuitive interface and powerful automation - so your team spends less time on administrative tasks and more time thinking, discovering, and writing.

Trusted by 70,000+ researchers worldwide, Paperpile is an independent, researcher-focused platform. Paperpile does not monetize your usage data or reading behavior. Your research library remains private and under your control.
