One workspace for common litigation document batches
Discovery productions
Carry one page-identifier range across multiple source PDFs after the team confirms the final order.
Exhibit collections
Combine PDFs and image scans in a reviewed sequence while keeping separate, clearly named output copies.
Internal review sets
Create a stable page reference for a known collection and share the generated ZIP through the firm's approved system.
Incoming document folders
Inspect nested paths, sort by folder or filename and flag exact duplicate files before numbering.
From an untidy folder to a reviewable numbered set
- 1
Add the selected documents
Choose PDFs, JPG or PNG scans, or select a folder in a supported desktop browser.
- 2
Review inclusion and order
Remove unwanted files, change output names, act on exact duplicate warnings and drag items into the required order.
- 3
Preview the identifier
Set the prefix, starting number, padding, position and appearance, then inspect representative first and last pages.
- 4
Process and verify
Generate the numbered PDFs locally, then compare the first and last identifier for each file with the CSV report.
Document contents remain on the firm's computer
BatesBundle processes source-document bytes locally in the browser. It does not upload document content, filenames or folder names. Only account, email-verification, allowance and payment data need to reach the service. The generated ZIP is downloaded to the device chosen by the user.
- No source-document storage on BatesBundle servers.
- Original files remain unchanged; the tool creates new copies.
- Exact duplicate detection is based on file contents, not an AI interpretation.
- PDFs with digital signatures are excluded rather than silently altered.
Built-in control points, with human review retained
The software makes repetitive steps faster, but it does not determine legal relevance, privilege, completeness, production obligations or the correct document order. Before relying on a batch, the firm should review the source selection, any duplicate exclusions, representative stamp previews, the output range and the control report.
Existing page stamps are not removed or validated. For a detailed checklist, use the Bates numbering workflow guide.
Choose occasional or recurring access
One-time batch
Buy only the source-page allowance needed: up to 500, 2,500 or 10,000 pages.
Monthly plan
Recurring teams can use the monthly source-page allowance shown in the tool and see their remaining balance in My access.
Allowances are page-based rather than file-based. See the current options in BatesBundle pricing before processing.

Frequently asked questions
Who can use BatesBundle inside a law firm?
Paralegals, litigation-support staff, legal assistants, attorneys and other authorized team members can use the same guided workflow. The person processing the batch remains responsible for selecting and reviewing the documents.
Does BatesBundle upload confidential client documents?
No. PDF reading, scan conversion, duplicate comparison and numbering run locally in the browser. Document contents, filenames and folder names are not uploaded to BatesBundle.
Can the sequence continue across multiple PDFs?
Yes. BatesBundle applies one continuous range in the final order shown, while preserving separate output PDF copies and creating a CSV control report.
Does BatesBundle decide the correct legal document order?
No. It can sort by folder and filename and exposes exact duplicates, but an authorized reviewer must confirm the final inclusion, order, stamp placement and output.
