Number the pages of a document that arrived without them. Choose where the numbers sit, how they read, and which pages to leave bare.
Drop it above. It is opened here on your device and a preview of the first numbered page appears.
Pick a corner or the centre, choose between a bare number and Page 3 of 12, and set the size. Leave the first page or two bare if the document has a cover.
The preview is the real thing, already stamped, so what you see is what you save.
Two settings do most of the work here and they are easy to confuse. Leaving the first pages bare controls which pages get a number at all, which is what you want for a cover or a title page. The first number controls what the numbering begins at.
They combine, which is what makes a chapter of a longer report straightforward. Skip the cover and start at 24, and the page after the cover comes out as 24. Both are needed when a document is going to be bound with others.
Rotated pages are handled properly. A landscape page inside a portrait document reports its dimensions unrotated, so a number placed without accounting for that lands on the wrong edge, which is a common annoyance with other tools. Here the number appears at the bottom of the page as the reader sees it.
No. The work happens inside this tab, on your own machine. Open your browser's network tab while you use the tool, there is no request carrying your file.
Practical limits depend on the tool, browser and available device memory. Large files can fail even when no explicit limit is shown. Keep an original and use a smaller job if this device cannot finish it.
No, and there is no daily limit either. There is nothing to sign up for.
You can leave any number of pages at the front bare, which covers covers and title pages. Everything after that is numbered.
The number sits in the margin, and you can move it further from the edge or make it smaller. The preview shows exactly where it lands before you save.
Not from the saved file, since they become part of the page. Keep your original, which this never changes.
Choose one of six positions: bottom centred, bottom right or left, or the same three at the top. The number can read 3, 3 of 12 or Page 3 of 12. The size runs from 7 to 20 points and the distance from the edge from 10 to 70 points, so you can keep a number clear of a binding margin.
The numbers are added as text in a dark sans serif and the pages themselves are not redrawn, so existing text stays selectable. A live preview shows exactly how a stamped page will look before you save.
Leave the first pages bare skips a cover or contents page, and First number sets what the first numbered page shows. A report with a cover can therefore start its numbers at 1 on the second page, or at any number you need when you are continuing a longer document.
In the 3 of 12 formats the total counts the pages that are numbered, so a skipped cover is not part of it. The preview shows the first numbered page rather than page 1. There is no choice of font or colour, which keeps the result neutral.
