Frequently Asked Questions
Where can the page numbers be placed?
You can choose bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right, or top-center. The same position is used on every page.
What number formats are available?
Choose a plain number like "3", or a "Page 3 of 20" style that also shows the total page count.
Can I start numbering from something other than 1?
Yes. Set any starting number, which is useful if the document continues from a previous file or has an unnumbered cover page.
Can I number multiple PDFs at once?
Yes. Upload several files and each one is stamped and returned in a single zip download.
Can I change the font or color of the page numbers?
Not currently. Page numbers are added in a standard font and size designed to be legible without altering your document's design.
Will adding page numbers affect my document's existing content?
No. The number is added as a small stamp in the corner or footer area of each page. The rest of the page is left untouched.
Is it safe to upload confidential documents?
Yes. All uploads happen over an encrypted connection, and both the source file and the numbered PDF are automatically deleted from our servers after processing.
Is adding page numbers really free?
Yes. There is no cost, no subscription, and no account required.
