Frequently asked questions

Is this add page numbers tool free?

Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no watermark on the result.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Page numbers are added entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.

Can I start numbering from something other than 1?

Yes. Set “Start numbering at” to whatever the first page should display — handy if a cover page shouldn't count as page 1.

Can I show the total page count, like "Page 1 of 10"?

Yes — pick one of the formats that includes a total, like "1 / 10" or "Page 1 of 10".

Will this affect the existing content on each page?

No. The page number is added on top of the existing page — nothing else on the page is changed.
