How do I add page numbers to a PDF?

Upload your PDF, choose the position (e.g. bottom center), select a format like "Page 1 of N", then click Add Page Numbers. Your numbered PDF is ready in seconds. No signup required.

Can I start page numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set the Starting Number field to any value. For example, set it to 5 to start numbering from page 5, which is useful for documents that are part of a larger series.

Can I skip the first page (cover page)?

Yes. Enable the Skip First Page option to leave the cover page unnumbered while numbering all subsequent pages.

What page number formats are available?

You can choose from: 1 (just the number), Page 1, Page 1 of N (shows total pages), 1/N, or - 1 - (with dashes). You can also add a custom prefix or suffix.

Can I add numbers to only odd or even pages?

Yes. Use the Pages option to apply numbers to all pages, odd pages only, or even pages only. This is useful for double-sided printing layouts.

How long are files stored?

All uploaded and processed PDF files are automatically deleted within 5 minutes. Files are never shared with third parties.
