Steps
- Confirm the portal’s max file size and any naming rules.
- Open Compress; choose Fit to size under that limit.
- If it is still too large, Split into page ranges that each stay under the cap.
- Download, open each file once, then upload in the order your court requires.
FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. Court rules differ. Confirm size, naming, and exhibit rules with your court or clerk.
Do you file with the court?
No. Compress and Split run in your browser. You upload to the court portal yourself.
What does it cost?
All six tools need an active plan: a 7-day trial (card required), then $2.99/mo or $19/yr until you cancel, or a one-time $1.49 24-hour pass.
