FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How do I add page numbers to a PDF for free?

Open the Add Page Numbers tool, drag in your PDF, and the page numbers are applied to every page automatically. Download the numbered file when it's ready. There is no signup, no watermark, and no cost. The whole process runs right in your browser.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server when I add page numbers?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your PDF never leaves your device or touches a server. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere. That makes it safe for contracts, reports, and other confidential documents you don't want exposed.

Can I add page numbers to a large PDF with many pages?

Yes. The tool stamps a number on every page regardless of how many pages your document has. Because the work happens locally on your own computer, speed depends on your device rather than an upload connection. Larger files simply take a little longer to process.

Does adding page numbers change the rest of my PDF content?

No. The tool only adds a page number to each page and leaves your existing text, images, and layout untouched. Your original document stays intact, and you get a new copy with numbers added. The source file on your computer is never modified.
