Add Page Numbers FAQ

Where do the page numbers appear and what do they look like?

You can place them at the bottom centre or the bottom right of every page. Each number is shown as the current page out of the total, in a small, plain, dark-grey style that sits neatly at the foot of the page.

Can I start numbering from a different page or use a custom style?

Not with this tool. It adds a straightforward number to every page, numbered from the first page, so it is quick and predictable rather than fully customisable.

Is my file safe when adding page numbers?

Yes. The numbering happens entirely in your browser and your PDF is never uploaded to us, so nothing leaves your device. It is free, needs no sign-up, and we add nothing else to the file.
