About Add Page Numbers
Numbers are added at the margin you choose, and they follow the page's visual orientation even when a page is rotated.
Set the start number if this PDF continues another document, or skip the first page to leave a cover unnumbered. The count still includes the cover.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs inside your browser, so your files are read and processed on your own device and never sent anywhere.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Tick the option to skip the first page. It stays unnumbered, and the count still includes it.
Can I use the Page X of Y format?
Yes. Choose the Page 1 of 10 style and the numbers are filled in for every page.
Can I start numbering from a different number?
Yes. Set First page number to any whole number, for example 5 if this file continues another document.
