Clean your Mailbox & Opt Out
Empty your recycling bin for good(!) with PaperKarma's real world Adblocker for unsolicited postal snail mail.

Simply snap a picture to unsubscribe from bulky catalogs, credit card offers and unwanted paper mail delivered to your home address. 
Reduce clutter, save time and simplify your life!

Are you still receiving junk mail addressed to previous owners or tenants? No problem! PaperKarma allows you to add all the name /address combinations under which you receive phyiscal postal mail. 

Take a step toward protecting your privacy while also helping the environment.  Each year 77+ billion pieces of unwanted mail overfill US mailboxes, with 44% of these direct mailings ending up in trash landfills (unopened!). The USPS drives over 1.4 billion miles (56,220 laps around Earth) to deliver these ads. 

With PaperKarma, you hold the power to reduce your carbon footprint and prevent direct marketing mail from being printed in your name in the first place:

•	Simply open the app and snap a pic of the offending junk mail

•	We apply some magic to automatically identify and recognize the mailer

•	Simply confirm your choice and we work behind the scenes to unsubscribe you. Boom!

That’s it. It’s that easy.

PaperKarma works on most junk mail including the leading national brands and direct mailers: All State, American Airlines AAdvantage, American Express (AmEx), AT&T /Uverse /DirecTV, Capital One, Discover Card, Farmers, Geico, Money Mailer, Restoration Hardware (RH), Save.com, State Farm, United Mileage Plus, Valpak, Wayfair, Xfinity and 100,000+ more national and local mailers, charities, non-profits and organizations. 

As the largest "Do Not Mail" registry and directory in the USA, PaperKarma can help stop 90+% of all physical junk mail you receive. We vet, verify and add 100+ new mailers suggested by our users every single day. 

PaperKarma has been featured on ABC, CBS, The New York Times, NBC's The Today Show, LifeHacker, TechCrunch, and more.  We are honored that Apple iTunes featured PaperKarma as one of its "Best Apps 2012" alongside disruptive apps such as AirBnb, TaskRabbit and Uber. More recenlty PaperKarma was featured by both Apple and Google on Earth Day 2019-23.

Photo scanner is garbage

So I think big picture this app is gradually working but the catalog photo scanner works basically never which was the biggest selling point of paying for the service versus using another free manual service. I honestly don’t understand how the scanner is so bad. The suggestions it gives after I take a photo of catalog logo are so wildly off, it would be funny if it weren’t so consistent and so irritating. And as far as I can tell, you can’t bypass the photo, so I have to have the go through this frustrating experience each time I receive a catalog.

Mail didn’t stop

After a year of using this junk mail still arrives from both repeat and new offenders. I found the team responsive when in the beginning my flags had not been processed months later so they get a star for that and the ease of use on the application but ultimately this was not effective.

Would give 6 stars if I could

Amazing app. Easy to use, and does exactly what it says it does. My junk mail has gone down to zero. Absolutely love it

Doesn’t work

Got this to stop junk mail for my mom who is a senior with dementia. I submitted several dozen unsubscribe requests through paper karma in 2022, all of which now say “unsubscribed” But the junk mail is still coming. I can’t see that there has been a noticeable decrease. The problem is that the majority of the junk mailers who prey on seniors are scammers and what they are doing is already unethical if not illegal. So why should they obey the rules to obey unsubscribe requests? The only thing that works is to screen her mail and put 99% of it straight in the recycle bin.

Look forward to junk mail now!

We have a lot of folks at our address and make a lot of orders and donations. So I was swimming in junk. Now with Paper Karma I can take action and it’s fun. I laugh because now I’m excited to get the mail to see if I can send in more junk!
