Why Page Numbers in PDF Matter

Professional documents often require clear organization. Whether you are submitting a thesis, legal contracts, or business reports, adding page numbers is essential for navigation and reference. Our Add Page Numbers to PDF tool simplifies this process. Instead of using expensive software like Adobe Acrobat, you can number your pages for free directly in your browser.

Key Features and Benefits

Real-Life Use Cases

Legal Documents: Lawyers and paralegals often need to Bates-stamp or number vast collections of documents for court submissions.
Academic Papers: Students must adhere to strict formatting guides (APA, MLA) which require specific page numbering.
Business Printing: Before sending a report to the customized printer, ensuring pages are numbered helps avoid collation errors.

Security and Privacy

We understand that your documents may contain sensitive data. Our tool operates on a "Upload-Process-Delete" model. When you click "Download", the server processes your request in memory or temporary storage and streams the result back to you. Once the connection closes, the temporary data is wiped. We do not sell data or store files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose the starting page number?
Yes! You can start numbering from any number (e.g., start at 5 instead of 1). This is perfect for combining chapters.
Is it compatible with Mac and Windows?
Absolutely. Because it is a web-based tool, it works on any operating system with a modern browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
Does it support large files?
We support most standard PDF files. Extremely large files (100MB+) might take longer to upload depending on your connection, but processing is fast.
Will the quality of my PDF decrease?
No. We modify only the structure to add text (page numbers). The original content, images, and fonts remain untouched and high quality.
How do I add "Page 1 of N"?
Simply select the "Page 1 of N" option from the Format dropdown menu in the settings panel.
