Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start page numbering from a specific page?
Yes! Use the page selection feature to choose exactly which pages receive numbers. For example, skip the cover page and start from page 2.
Will page numbers affect my existing content?
Page numbers are added in the margins of your document, so they won't overlap with your existing content unless your margins are very small.
Can I add page numbers on my phone?
Absolutely! Our tool works on any device with a web browser - smartphones, tablets, and computers.
What if I need to combine PDFs first?
Use our Merge PDF tool to combine multiple documents, then add page numbers to the merged file.
Can I remove page numbers later?
Page numbers become part of the PDF content once added. Keep your original file if you might need an unnumbered version.
