Bates numbering (or Bates stamping) is a specialized method used in the legal, medical, and business professions to place identifying numbers or images on every page of a document. Our Bates Stamping tool allows you to add these unique identifiers across single or multiple files with complete control over prefixes, suffixes, digit padding, and positioning. All processing is 100% client-side, ensuring that your sensitive legal or business documents never leave your device.
