Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add page numbers to PDF?

Upload your PDF file, select the desired position (like Bottom Center), choose your font size and format, and click 'Add Page Numbers'. Download the updated PDF instantly.

Can I start numbering from page 5?

Yes, you can specify the starting number for the pagination sequence so it automatically adjusts to documents that follow a cover page or table of contents.

Can I change position of numbers?

Absolutely. We offer 6 distinct layout positions including Top/Bottom and Left/Center/Right alignments.

Does this tool upload my file?

No! All pagination and stamping happens entirely within your web browser. The files are completely secure and are never uploaded to any backend server.

Is the tool free?

Can I use it on mobile?

Will it affect PDF quality?

No. Our tool uses lossless methods to write new text objects onto the existing document layer without altering or degrading any of your original graphics.

Can I remove page numbers later?

Because the text is burned into the visual PDF layer for maximum compatibility across readers, it cannot be easily removed directly. Always keep a backup of your original document.
