Add Page Numbers — FAQ
Is adding page numbers free?
Yes — number as many PDFs as you like, free, with no signup and no watermark. Pro (NZ$9/mo) adds batch numbering across many files at once.
Can I start numbering from a specific number?
Yes. Set the “Start at” value — useful when a document continues from another, or when the first page is a cover you want to skip.
Where can the numbers go?
Six positions: bottom-left, bottom-centre, bottom-right, and the same three along the top.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Page numbers are drawn into the PDF locally in your browser with pdf-lib. Nothing leaves your device.
Will the numbers cover my content?
They sit in the margin at the position you choose. If your document has very little margin, pick a position with more space or a smaller font size.
