Frequently asked questions
How do I add page numbers to a PDF?
Add your PDF, choose where the numbers go and how they look, then click Add page numbers. The numbered PDF downloads to your device.
Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?
Yes. Type any whole number in Start numbering at. For example, enter 5 and the first page is numbered 5, the second 6, and so on.
What number formats are available?
You can use a plain number such as 3, Page 3, or 3 of N where N is the last page number. Choose the one you want from the Format menu.
Can I put the page number at the top of the page?
Yes. You can place numbers at the top or bottom of the page, on the left, center or right, which gives six positions in total.
Is it safe to add page numbers here?
Yes, because your file never leaves your device. Toolbyte adds the numbers inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded and we cannot see your document.
Can I skip the first page, such as a cover?
Not in one step, because every page is numbered. A simple way is to split the cover off with Split PDF, number the rest, then join them again with Merge PDF.
