Bates-stamp your exhibits without uploading them.
Exhibits headed for a deposition or a production need a clean, sequential Bates range so every page is citable, and they are sensitive by definition. KeptPDF stamps the whole set in your browser. The exhibits never leave your device. Review the numbering before you produce.
Exhibits are evidence. The tool that stamps them should not see them.
Exhibits in a deposition or production are part of active litigation, and many are privileged or confidential. Uploading them to a web stamper hands evidence to a third party that is not a party to your engagement.
Exhibits are evidence, often privileged, so they should not pass through a third-party server just to get Bates stamps.
KeptPDF stamps, numbers, and generates load files entirely in your browser. There is no upload step, so the exhibits stay on your machine, your client's, or wherever they live. You can verify it yourself in the network tab.
Numbering a production online means uploading privileged files, and a re-run can break the sequence.
Stamp a clean, consistent Bates range on your own machine, with load files for the review platform.
What you can configure
The controls a real production needs. Set the series, skip what should not be numbered, and export the load files your review platform expects.
Prefix, start, padding, position
Set the prefix (like SMITH_), the starting number, how many digits to pad to, and where the stamp sits on each page.
A series per custodian
Give each custodian its own prefix and number series in one run, so a set of exhibits from different sources stays organized and consistent.
Skip pages that should not number
Mark exhibit covers, slip sheets, or dividers to skip. A skipped page gets a placeholder stamp instead of a Bates number.
Load files (Pro)
Free gives you the stamped PDF and a designation report. Pro adds CSV, DAT, and OPT load files, ready to import into Concordance, Relativity, or any standard review platform.
How to Bates number exhibits
Three steps, entirely on your device. The production never gets uploaded.
Open your exhibit set
Drop the file onto the page. It loads into your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Configure the stamp
Set the prefix (like SMITH_), starting number, padding, and position. For a multi-custodian set, give each custodian its own prefix and series.
Download the stamped PDF
Save the stamped file with a designation report. Pro adds CSV, DAT, and OPT load files for Concordance or Relativity. Review the numbering before you produce.
Production-ready stamps. Nothing uploaded.
Per-custodian prefixes
Give each custodian its own prefix and number series in one run, so a cross-custodian production stays organized and consistent.
Padding, position, skip pages
Set the padding and where the stamp sits, and mark pages to skip for privilege slips, covers, or dividers. A skipped page gets a placeholder stamp instead of a number.
Load files (Pro)
Free gives you the stamped PDF and a designation report. Pro adds CSV, DAT, and OPT load files, ready to import into Concordance, Relativity, or any standard review platform.
Never uploaded
A Bates production is privileged or sensitive by definition. The exhibit set is stamped entirely in your browser, so no document is ever part of a network request or sits on anyone else's server.
