A few things to know
What should I know about the output?
Stamp every page with a sequential reference such as DOC-000001. Set a prefix, suffix, start number and digit count. Numbers are drawn on the page on your device; to continue numbering across several files, set each file's start number. Not a substitute for a court-approved legal production system.
Can I use Bates numbering now?
Bates numbering is available now, free and without signup. Processing happens entirely on your device.
Where will Bates numbering process my files?
Files are read, processed and rendered in browser Web Workers. Nothing is uploaded. Cancel stops the worker immediately; originals remain unchanged.
Will Bates numbering be free?
Yes. Unlimited free uses, without signup or a daily quota. Choose up to 3 input files and 120 MB total, with 2,000 pages per job. Rendered images are limited to 32 megapixels. Smaller batches help on devices with less memory.
