There isn’t a single, universally agreed-on “Epstein files” count, but you can get a solid ballpark from what U.S. officials have disclosed in early 2026.

Quick Scoop: How many Epstein files are there?

When people online ask “how many Epstein files are there in total?”, they’re usually mixing together several different troves:

  • The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has said it identified about 6 million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and the federal investigations into him.
  • Of those, roughly 3 to 3.5 million pages are being publicly released , with the rest withheld for reasons like protecting victims’ identities, child sexual abuse material, and privileged legal communications.
  • The DOJ has also mentioned about 2,000 videos and around 180,000 images associated with the case.
  • Separately, there are around 20,000 “estate files” from Epstein’s estate litigation that were compiled into a searchable database by journalists and volunteers; these are mostly PDFs and documents, not part of the official DOJ count.

So if you’re talking about the federal “Epstein files” held and reviewed by DOJ , the working number is:

About 6 million pages of federal records total, of which about half (roughly 3–3.5 million pages) plus thousands of media files are being released.

If you broaden it to everything sometimes called “Epstein files” (court records, civil suits, estate documents, leaked PDFs, media archives), the total number of individual “files” is higher and fuzzy, because:

  • Different projects count a “file” differently (one PDF vs. each page vs. each video).
  • Some archives merge multiple original files into a single combined PDF or dataset.

Mini breakdown

  • Official DOJ universe:
    • ~6,000,000 pages of records in total.
* ~3,000,000–3,500,000 pages being released publicly.

* ~2,000 videos + ~180,000 images.
  • Estate / civil case troves:
    • ~20,000 estate-related documents in at least one public database project.

Because of redactions, withheld materials, and overlapping copies, no one can honestly give a precise “there are X total Epstein files” number; the closest hard number is the DOJ’s 6 million pages figure for its own holdings.
