How to add page numbers
- Add your file. Click the drop zone or drag a single PDF onto the page — a live preview appears.
- Pick a position. Choose one of six positions on the page grid.
- Fine-tune it. Set the number format, starting number, pages to skip, size, margin, and colour.
- Apply & download. Save the result straight to your device.
Why do this locally instead of online?
Adding page numbers is a small, routine edit, but it often happens right before a document is finalized and sent somewhere important — a report, a contract packet. This tool renders the live preview and writes the final numbers using libraries running directly in your browser.
