How do I download my contract?

Download one contract, several contracts, or a larger account export for offline access.

ContractSafe gives you several ways to download contract files. You can download the original document from a Contract Page, download multiple contracts in bulk from the Contracts List, or request a larger account-level export through an administrator. This guide also explains the difference between downloading an original file, converting a PDF to Word, and printing a contract.

Table of contents

Download one contract 

  1. Open the contract from the Contracts List.
  2. On the Contract Page, select the three dots in the upper-right corner.
  3. Select Download.

Choose the correct download option

The Download menu may include more than one option:

  • Download Original Contract — Downloads the file exactly as it was originally uploaded (PDF, Word, etc.).
  • Convert to Word — If the contract was uploaded as a PDF, this option converts it to a Word document (.docx) before downloading.
  • Summary Information — Downloads a summary of the contract's key details and metadata, such as contract fields, dates, parties, status, and other tracked information, rather than the original contract file.

Download multiple contracts

To download multiple contracts from the Contracts List:

On the main Contracts page, simply check the boxes next to the documents you want to download. Then click on Actions, and choose Download contracts. This allows you to download contracts in bulk.


This method is helpful if you are looking to download multiple documents at once. They will be available for download as a zip file. This may take a while depending upon the size of the export. You will receive an email when your download is ready.

Request a larger account export

If you need more than 500 files, an Administrator can request an account-level All Contracts and Attachment Files download from the account settings area. This is the appropriate path for large exports that include the account’s contract and attachment files.

Large exports may take longer to prepare and may be delivered as a ZIP file or through a download email. Contact ContractSafe Support for special export requirements or if you are unsure which export option to use.

Download versus print or convert

Choose the action that matches your goal:

  • Download Original Contract when you need the original uploaded file.
  • Convert to Word when you need an editable Word copy of an uploaded PDF.
  • Print when you need a paper or PDF output from the viewer. Printing may include highlights and can reduce visual quality compared with downloading the original file.
  • Bulk Download when you need multiple original files in a ZIP package.
