Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about automated Bates numbering and legal document production.
No. OmniBates is designed to process files in your browser; document contents are not uploaded to our servers as part of the stamping workflow. This makes it well suited for privileged materials and sensitive discovery.
Document contents and filenames are never stored — they stay in your browser. Your account stores profile information, subscription/billing data, and per-run usage metadata (the user who ran it, Bates prefix, page count, and timestamp). This metadata is the chain-of-custody record behind the Audit-Ready Run Logs feature; it never includes file contents.
No. When you close the tab, your files are gone from the browser. If you create an account or pay while files are stamped and waiting, a temporary copy may be kept in your own browser's local storage for up to one hour so the download survives sign-in — it is deleted as soon as you download, clear the batch, or close the tab. We never keep file contents or names on our servers.
Yes. Because processing happens locally on your device, there's no risk of privilege waiver through third-party transmission. Your documents remain under your exclusive control at all times.
Supported formats are PDF, Outlook email (.msg), JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, WebP, GIF, and BMP. Mixed-format batches are supported.
Absolutely. Set any prefix, starting number, zero-padding, date stamps, and positioning to match your firm's labeling standards.
OmniBates outputs standard PDFs that work seamlessly with Relativity, Concordance, and other major e-discovery platforms.
