How do I add page numbers to a PDF?

Drop your PDF, choose the position (bottom center is most common), select a format, and set the font size. Click Add Page Numbers and the numbered PDF downloads instantly. You can skip cover pages by setting "Start from Page" to 2 or higher.

Can I start numbering from a specific page?

Yes. Use the "Start from Page" option to skip numbering on early pages like covers or title pages. Set it to 2 to skip the first page, 3 to skip the first two, etc. You can also set a custom starting number if your document continues from a previous section.

What number formats are available?

Four formats: plain numbers (1, 2, 3), "Page 1" style, "Page 1 of N" (shows total), and centered dashes (- 1 -, - 2 -). All display clearly at any font size.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file stays on your device — no server, no cloud. Safe for confidential documents, contracts, and reports.
