How to use Add Page Numbers to PDF
Add customizable page numbers to PDFs with positioning, prefix, starting number, color, font size and selected page ranges.
- Add a PDF or image, or select multiple files when you need a bulk operation.
- Check the page preview and adjust input order, selected page ranges and tool-specific settings.
- Click Process files and wait for the browser to finish each operation.
- Review output file names and sizes, then download individual results or the ZIP archive.
How Add Page Numbers to PDF works
Page numbers are drawn as new PDF text content at the specified edge positions. The operation generally leaves existing page elements unchanged.
Workflow example: A 20-page booklet can be numbered from Page 5 in the bottom-right corner while skipping cover pages.
Realistic limits: Browser-based processing may be affected by PDF encryption, uncommon fonts or encodings, device memory and file complexity. Input limit is 35 MB per file, 160 MB combined, up to 15 files. Multiple resulting pages or images may increase output size. Download results before leaving this page.
Frequently asked questions
Can numbering start from a custom number?
Yes. Set the start value and optionally enter a short prefix such as Page.
Can I number only selected pages?
Yes. Use page ranges like 2-20 or 3,5-9 to skip covers or appendices.
Can I work with multiple files?
Yes. Up to 15 files per batch, with a 35 MB limit for each input and a combined 160 MB limit. Some operations combine everything into one output PDF; others generate individual files or a ZIP.
Are documents sent to Solvory servers?
This application processes PDF inputs in your browser. Libraries are downloaded from external CDNs, which can receive normal connection metadata. Your uploaded files are not transmitted to a Solvory conversion endpoint by these tools.
Why did my PDF fail to convert?
Password protection, corrupt files, unsupported features, very large page dimensions, complex fonts or insufficient device memory can cause errors. Use a smaller valid PDF or another supported browser.
Privacy, compatibility and safety
Files are handled locally through browser PDF APIs and open-source libraries loaded from CDNs. These tools do not intentionally upload PDF contents to Solvory servers. Some PDFs can have restricted or unsupported features. Browser processing does not promise permanent redaction, lossless reformatting or exact output sizes.
