Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose between "1, 2, 3" and "1 of n" formats?
Yes! You can easily select between simple numbering (1, 2, 3...) and "page of total" numbering (1 of 3, 2 of 3...) with a single click.
Where can the page numbers be placed in the footer?
You can place the page numbers on the left side, center, or right side of the footer margin.
Can I skip the first page (cover page)?
Yes! You can choose to skip the first page so your document cover remains clean without a page number.
Will adding page numbers affect the quality of my PDF?
No. The original text, vector elements, and images remain unaltered at 100% original quality.
Are my PDF documents kept private and secure?
Absolutely. All processing occurs entirely inside your web browser. No files are ever sent to remote servers.
