Common questions

How do I add page numbers to a PDF?

Pick the position, the starting number and the format — "3" or "3 / 48" — and the numbers are drawn onto each page.

Are my files uploaded to the internet?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser: the document is opened on your device, processed there, and never sent anywhere. You can even go offline once the page has loaded.

Can numbering start after the cover page?

Yes. You choose which page to start on and what number to show first, so an unnumbered cover does not shift the rest.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

Free and unlimited, with no account and no sign-up. This tool costs us nothing because it runs on your machine, so we have no reason to ration it.
