Frequently asked questions
Is this tool free?
+
Yes, completely free with no limits. Number as many PDFs as you want — no account required.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
+
No. Everything happens in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I start numbering from something other than 1?
+
Yes. Set any starting number — useful when this file is a continuation of another document. "Page N of" totals follow your start number, so a 10-page file started at 5 is numbered Page 5 of 14 through Page 14 of 14.
What number formats are supported?
+
Plain numbers (1, 2, 3…), "Page 1" style, or "Page 1 of N" — where N is the last number in the run, which is the page count whenever you start at 1.
Will adding page numbers affect the rest of the page?
+
No. The number is placed in the margin you choose — existing text, images, and layout are untouched.
