Page numbering questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Upload your PDF, pick a position on the page grid, choose a number format, then select Add page numbers. The numbers are drawn into the PDF and the file downloads.
Can I choose where the page numbers appear and what format?
Yes. Use the position grid to place numbers, pick a format, and set the start number. You can also change font, colour, margin and page range, with a live preview.
Are my files uploaded when I add page numbers?
No. Numbering runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF never leaves your device.
Can I number only some pages?
Yes. Choose Page range and enter something like 3-12 or 2,5,8-10. Only those pages receive numbers.
Does this change the rest of my document?
No. The numbers are added as real text on top of the existing page, so the original content, quality and searchable text are preserved.
