Why use it

What this free tool does

Classic layout

Titles, dot leaders and page numbers.

Clickable

Each entry jumps to its page.

From bookmarks

Or from headings in the text.

Levels

Up to three levels, indented.

After the cover

Insert at the start or after page 1.

Private

Nothing is uploaded.

Page numbers in the contents

The page numbers shown are the page positions in the final PDF, including the contents pages, so they match what readers show.

Long contents flow over several pages automatically. The contents can also be added as bookmarks so the side panel matches.

Tip: No bookmarks yet? Use Edit PDF Bookmarks first to set them up exactly how you want.

Your files stay on your device

Most online PDF sites upload your documents to their servers. Aleynray Ai does the work inside your browser instead, on your own computer or phone.

Nothing is sent anywhere, so contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical forms stay private, and there is no waiting for uploads.
