About add page numbers

Stamp page numbers into any PDF with custom format like "Page {n} of {total}". It sits in the pdf & office shelf alongside 83 other pdf & office tools, needs no account, and keeps the same behaviour whether you open it here or call it through the REST API.

It takes a file in PDF and gives back PDF. Large files stay on your machine, so size is bounded by your own memory rather than an upload limit. The work happens in your browser, so the file is never uploaded and the tool keeps working offline. The same operation is available programmatically at POST /v1/pdf/page-numbers.

Add Page Numbers questions

Does Add Page Numbers upload my file?

No. Add Page Numbers runs as WebAssembly inside this browser tab: the file is read from your disk by the page, processed on your own machine, and handed straight back. It is never sent anywhere, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.

Can I run Add Page Numbers on several files at once?

Yes. Add Page Numbers takes one file at a time, so selecting several runs it once per file, one after another, and you get a result for each.

Do I need an account to use Add Page Numbers?

No. Add Page Numbers works without signing in, and that is not a trial — it is how the free tier works. An account only matters for things that need one to exist at all: larger server jobs against your quota, API keys, saved workflows and billing.

Can I run Add Page Numbers from my own code?

Yes. Every tool on the site is reachable from the REST API with the same slug — `pdf-page-numbers` — and the same options as this page, so anything you can do here you can automate against your own files.
