Free preview before you pay

Make a court bundle from your documents

Cover, a clickable index, continuous page numbers, an exhibit label on every page and real bookmarks. Upload your PDFs and photos together. What your court accepts is for you, your representative or the court to confirm.

What is this bundle called

Case or reference numberOptional. Printed on the cover.

Prepared byOptional.

Start page numbering atLeave at 1 unless you have been told to continue from an earlier volume. Any other start means the printed numbers no longer match the PDF's own page numbers.

Paper sizeAs uploaded keeps each PDF page its own size. A4 or US Letter puts every page on that paper, shrinking anything bigger to fit.

Select all your documents at once PDFs and photos, up to 20 files. Check the running order in the preview before you pay.

How it works.

There is no one set of bundle rules. In England and Wales, the judiciary's general guidance on electronic court bundles (29 November 2021) asks for computer generated page numbers that start at 1 and match the PDF's own page numbers, an index where every entry links to its document, bookmarks, and OCR on typed pages that were not created digitally. It gives way to specific guidance from a particular court and to the directions in your own case, and courts in other countries set their own rules. This does the numbering, the linked index and the bookmarks. It does not run OCR, and it cannot tell you what your court wants, so check your order or ask the court office before you file. Getting the numbering right by hand in Word is where people lose an evening.

Step 1

Select your documents

Select all your PDFs and photos together. Photos go on their own page and are shrunk to fit if they are bigger than it, never stretched. PDF pages keep their own size unless you set Paper size to A4 or US Letter, which puts every page on that paper and shrinks anything bigger to fit.

Step 2

Name it and check the index

Give it a title and a reference if it has one. The preview shows the index with the page each document starts on, so you can check the running order before paying. It shows the index, not the pages themselves.

Step 3

Download the finished bundle

One PDF: cover, index, every page numbered continuously at the bottom centre, a small label box in the top right corner of each document page, and bookmarks down the side. The number and label are drawn on top of the page, so anything printed in those two spots can be hidden.

Questions, answered.

Does the page numbering restart for each document?

No. It runs continuously from the first page to the last, with the cover as page 1, so with the starting number left at 1 the printed numbers match the PDF's own page numbers. If a judge says page 47, there is exactly one page 47.

Can I continue numbering from a first volume?

You can set the starting number, but check your instructions first. The England and Wales guidance on electronic court bundles has numbering start at page 1 so that it matches the PDF's page numbers, and a volume that starts at 301 will not match. If you have no instruction either way, ask the court office.

Is the index clickable?

Yes. Every row in the index is a link to the first page of the document it names, and each document has a bookmark as well. The England and Wales judiciary's general guidance on electronic court bundles asks for both.

Are the bookmarks real?

Yes, real PDF bookmarks, one for the index and one per document, so they show in the side panel of a PDF reader. Each is named from the file name, like Exhibit 3 - Letter of dismissal. They do not include the page number, which the England and Wales guidance says a bookmark should.

Is this right for a family court bundle in England and Wales?

Only for some cases. Practice Direction 27A, in force since 2 March 2026, has financial remedy bundles numbered consecutively to match the PDF, which this does. Other family cases use Bates numbering, where each section has its own letter (A1, A2, then B1), with an unnumbered index, and this does not produce that. PD 27A also caps an e-bundle at 350 pages unless the court allows more.

Can it read scanned documents?

It puts them in the bundle exactly as they are, but it does not run OCR, so a scan stays a picture and will not be searchable. The England and Wales guidance asks for OCR on typed pages that were not created digitally, so if that applies to you, run OCR before uploading.

How do I control the order of the documents?

Select every file together in one go, because picking a single file starts a fresh preview with only that file. Documents go in the order your browser hands them over, and browsers differ, so check the running order in the preview before you pay. Numbering the file names, like 01 Contract and 02 Dismissal letter, makes it easy to check. The index names each document from its file name, number included.

How many documents can go in?

Up to 20 files and 150 MB in one upload. If you have more, combine some into one PDF first, which then becomes a single exhibit, or email us.

Will you tell me what to put in it?

No, and that is deliberate. Putting your documents in order and giving them an index is a formatting job. Telling you what evidence to include, what it proves or what your court will accept is legal advice, and we are not lawyers. This assembles what you give it and nothing more.

What happens to my file?

It is deleted within 7 days, along with the finished PDF. It is used to make your file and nothing else. Nobody reads it.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no signup, no subscription and no password. You upload, you see the result, you pay once if you want it.
