The Word-integrated desktop tool that allows you to manage, cite and export your exhibits with minimal fuss. New piece of evidence coming in late? Refresh citations with just one click.
ExhiBytes is a Windows desktop application built for lawyers, litigators, and legal professionals who deal with exhibit bundles. Whether you're preparing for trial, an arbitration, or a transactional filing, ExhiBytes handles the tedious parts so you can focus on the substance.
Drop in your documents — PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets, PowerPoints — and ExhiBytes automatically converts, numbers, and organises them into a sequentially labelled exhibit list. Change the order, add descriptions, log dates, and keep private notes on each exhibit.
The real magic is the Word integration: insert live citation controls directly into your submissions or skeleton arguments, then refresh them all at once whenever your exhibit list changes. Export a complete, court-ready bundle with a single click.
ExhiBytes is purpose-built for legal work — no bloat, no subscription, no cloud.
Drop any mix of files — PDF, DOCX, DOC, XLSX, XLS, PPTX, PPT, ODT, ODS, ODP, RTF, TXT, PNG, JPG, JPEG, and EML. ExhiBytes converts them to PDF automatically.
Configure your prefix (e.g. P-, A-) and separator. Exhibits are sequentially numbered and re-labelled automatically when you reorder or delete.
Click any exhibit to see a full multi-page PDF preview in the right-hand panel — no need to open a separate viewer.
Place your cursor in Word, select an exhibit, and click Cite. A live content control is inserted at your cursor — linked back to the exhibit.
Reorder your exhibits? Click Refresh Citations to update every content control in your Word document to the new labels — instantly.
Export the entire exhibit bundle as a single PDF file, ready to attach to court submissions or share with counterparts.
Keep private notes on any exhibit — provenance, remarks, to-dos. Notes are stored locally and never leave your machine.
Organise your work into separate projects — one per matter, per client, or per filing. Switch between them instantly.
ExhiBytes runs entirely on your local machine. No cloud accounts, no telemetry, no internet required after install. Your documents never leave your computer.
A step-by-step walkthrough of the ExhiBytes workflow — from uploading your first document to exporting a court-ready bundle with live Word citations.

Place your cursor anywhere in your Word document — body text, footnotes, headers — then select an exhibit and click Cite in Word. A linked content control appears at your cursor, formatted using your citation template.
