Can I number specific pages instead of all pages?

This tool numbers all pages in the PDF sequentially. If you need to number only specific pages, you would need to split the PDF, number the desired section, then merge the PDFs back together.

Will page numbers overlap with my existing content?

The tool places numbers with a 40-point margin from edges to minimize overlap. However, if your content extends close to page edges, numbers might overlap. Use the preview feature to check placement before downloading.

Can I use custom formats like 'Page 1 of 10'?

Currently, the tool adds simple sequential numbers (1, 2, 3). Custom formats with text or total page counts are not supported in this version.

Why would I start numbering from page 0 or 2?

Starting from page 0 is common in technical documentation. Starting from page 2 or 3 is useful when you want to skip title pages or table of contents pages that traditionally don't show page numbers.

Can I change the number color or style?

Page numbers are added in standard black color with a clean font. Custom colors and font styles are not currently supported to maintain simplicity and compatibility.

Is my PDF data secure when using this tool?

Absolutely! All processing happens locally in your web browser. Your PDF files never leave your device or get uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security of your documents.
