Frequently asked questions

How do I add page numbers to a PDF for free?
Upload your PDF, choose position (top or bottom, left/center/right), set starting number, and click 'Add Page Numbers'. Download the numbered PDF instantly.
Can I choose where the page number appears on the page?
Yes. Choose from six positions: top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right. Bottom-center is the most common placement.
Can I start numbering from a page other than 1?
Yes. Set the starting page number to any value — useful when a document is part of a larger set and needs to continue numbering from a previous section.
Can I skip page numbers on the first page (cover page)?
Yes — most page number tools allow you to specify the first page to number, so you can exclude a title page or cover from the numbering sequence.
What font and size are the page numbers?
The default uses a clean sans-serif font at a standard readable size. Some options allow customising font size and style.
Does adding page numbers change the PDF content?
No — existing content is untouched. Page numbers are added as a new text layer on each page.
