From contributor file to production files
StoryExtract
Turn Word files, PDFs, and pasted email into clean story text and named photos, ready for layout.

Keep the edition together
A folder for each publication. A place for each issue.
Keep stories and separate photos with the right issue. Return to your saved work on another device, then archive an issue when you finish.
Saved stories and photos stay for 30 days from their first save.

Check the details
The words and the photos, ready for your review.
Check the extracted paragraphs against your source. Clean spacing, join or split paragraphs, and give photos useful filenames, captions, and credits before download.
Check the output before publication. Paper Tools does not copyedit text or verify facts.

Keep the work moving
One issue. One download.
Download one story, the selected stories, or a complete saved issue as a ZIP. Text, named photos, captions, and credits travel together.
Background processing, when enabled, keeps large files running after you close the page. The processing queue is disabled on this installation.
