Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PDF page numbers
? Is it safe to upload my private PDFs to this tool?
Yes, completely safe! This tool runs 100% locally in your web browser. Your PDF documents never leave your computer and are never uploaded to any server. Your sensitive files and information remain completely private.
? Can I start page numbering from a page other than page 1?
Yes, you can configure the tool to start numbering from any page. For example, if you have a cover page or table of contents, you can skip the initial pages and start numbering from page 3 or 4, setting the initial index to 1.

We support multiple formatting options, including simple numbers (1, 2, 3...), 'Page X', the total page count format 'X of Y' (e.g., 1 of 10), and decorative format options like '- X -'.
