Pick the corner, the format, and the first number, then drag it anywhere on the page. Start the count on page 3 and call it 1 if that's what your document needs.",[9,12,15,18],{"title":10,"content":11},"Open your PDF","Drop your PDF into the box or pick it from your device. It opens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.",{"title":13,"content":14},"Place the number","Drag the number on any page to move it. It snaps to the margins and to the middle of the page, and the other pages follow.",{"title":16,"content":17},"Set the range and the first number","\"Page range\" picks which pages get a number. \"First number\" sets what that first one reads.

Click \"Finish\", then \"Download\" the numbered file.","How to add page numbers to a PDF",[23,26,29,32,35,38,41],{"q":24,"a":25},"Can I start the numbers on page 3 instead of page 1?","Yes. \"Page range\" and \"First number\" are separate fields, so you can number pages 5 to 12 and have the first one read 1. One thing to expect: if you skip a 4-page cover on a 12-page file, the \"1 / 12\" format prints \"1 / 8\". The total is the last number in the sequence, not the document's page count.",{"q":27,"a":28},"Are my files sent to a server?","No. Your PDF is read in the browser and the numbers are drawn in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or scanned. The tool is a page in your browser, not a service you send a document to. Open your browser's network tab while you work and you'll see nothing leave your device.",{"q":30,"a":31},"Can I number only the odd pages, or only the even ones?","Yes. Pick \"Odd numbers only\" or \"Even numbers only\" and the number is printed on those pages alone. The count itself keeps running underneath: it still advances on every page in the range, so the numbered pages read 1, 3, 5 and so on. That is what you want when only one side of each sheet is printed.",{"q":33,"a":34},"Can I change the font, size, or color of the numbers?","Yes. Pick from several fonts, sans serif, serif and monospace among them, then set the size in points, the color, and how solid the number is. You can also put a colored box behind the number, which is what keeps it readable on a dark scan or over an image.",{"q":36,"a":37},"Can I leave one page without a number?","Yes. Use \"No number on this page\" and the others keep the numbers they already have, because the page keeps its place in the count and only its number goes unprinted. Useful for a full-page image or a divider in the middle of a document.",{"q":39,"a":40},"Can the numbers alternate sides for double-sided printing?","Yes. Turn on \"Facing pages\" and the number sits on the outer edge of each side of the spread: on the right for right-hand pages, on the left for left-hand pages. Nothing ends up in the gutter where the binding hides it.",{"q":42,"a":43},"Will the numbers shift if my pages are different sizes?","No. The position is stored as a distance from an edge rather than a percentage, so a footer sits the same distance from the bottom whether the page is Letter, A4, or A5. A file with a mix of sizes comes out with its numbers in a straight line.","Common questions about adding page numbers to a PDF",[46,50,54,58,62],{"title":47,"content":48,"icon":49},"See it before you download","Every number is drawn on the page at the size, position and font it will have in the file.
