FAQ

What is the PDF page-numbering tool?

The PDF page-numbering tool is an online PDF numbering utility. It automatically adds page numbers to every page of your PDF, supporting multiple number styles, font sizes, colors and positions, with a custom start number — all processed locally in your browser with no file upload required.

How do I use the PDF page-numbering tool?

It's very simple. Upload a PDF file, set the start number, number style, font size, color and position, then click "Start Process" to download the numbered PDF.

Will the added numbers affect the original content?

No. Page numbers are drawn as an overlay layer in the page corners and never cover or modify the original text or images.

Which PDFs are supported?

Standard PDFs are supported. For security reasons, please remove the password from encrypted or password-protected PDFs before processing.

What does the start number do?

The start number sets the first page's number, default 1. If your document starts numbering at page 5, set the start number to 5.

Is processing fast?

Yes, very fast. The tool uses an efficient local processing method and supports batch numbering, finishing ordinary documents within seconds.

Is the process secure? Will my files leak?

Completely secure. Processing happens entirely locally in your browser and is never uploaded to any server — your data is absolutely safe.

Do I need to register or pay?

Free uses are granted every day, so everyday usage costs nothing. We provide a daily free credit that easily covers light needs; when you require higher processing volume, upgrading to member unlocks more benefits.

Can I use it on a phone or tablet?

Yes. This is a pure web app that works directly in the browser on a phone, tablet, or computer — no software installation needed.

How is the online version different from desktop PDF software?

The online version is far more convenient. No installation needed — it's open-and-use with equally professional results, perfect for quick numbering anywhere.

Can I number only some pages?

The current version numbers all pages uniformly. For a custom range, split the PDF first with the "PDF Delete Pages / Extract Pages" tools, then process.

Can I customize the font color?

Yes. Use the color picker to choose any color, and adjust the font size and margin for the best look.
