Frequently asked questions
Can I choose where the page number appears? ▾
Yes. You can place page numbers at the bottom center, bottom left, bottom right, top center, top left, or top right of each page.
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1? ▾
Yes. You can set any starting number — useful if the PDF is part of a larger document and you need to continue from a specific page number.
What formats are available? ▾
Three formats: plain number (e.g. "3"), "Page 3", and "Page 3 of 10". All use a clean gray font that blends with most document styles.
Will adding page numbers change my existing content? ▾
No. The page number is drawn in the margin area on top of the page. Your existing text, images, and layout are untouched.
Does this work on scanned PDFs? ▾
Yes. Page numbers are added as a text overlay on every page, regardless of whether the content is text-based or a scanned image.
