About Add page numbers
Page numbers make long documents easier to print, bind and refer to. For books and reports, “Facing pages” puts the numbers on the outer edge of left and right pages.
Questions
Is it safe to add page numbers here?
Yes. The work happens inside your own browser, so the file is never uploaded to a server — not ours, not anyone's. That makes it safe for contracts, bank statements, ID cards and other private documents.
How do I start numbering from a specific page?
Open “More options” and set how many pages at the start to leave unnumbered, and the first number to use.
Can I write my own text, like “Page 1 of 10”?
Yes — choose “My own text…” and use {n} for the page number and {total} for the last number.
Is it really free?
Yes — adding page numbers is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Can I add page numbers to a PDF on my phone?
Yes. It works in the browser on Android phones, iPhones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install. It works best in Google Chrome.
