1
Upload your PDF
Drop in a document and the first page appears with “Page 1” already stamped in its header. Files are deleted after 2 hours.
-
2
Pick a number style
Write any caption, then tap the caret for the ready-made styles — Page 1, Page I, Page 2 of 45, the file name, or a plain text label. The line under the box previews the whole run before you commit.
Numbers go in any of six slots — header or footer, left, center or right. Font and size are yours to pick, and the page can keep its margins or move the content in to make room.
-
3
Pick pages and run
More options numbers only the pages you name — 1-10, 12-, odd, even, or lists like 2,4,6,10 — and Start numbering from continues the count (set 5 to open the file at page 5). Press Add page numbers and the numbered document comes back ready to download.
-
Five ready styles
Page 1, Page I, Page 2 of 45, the file name, or a free text label — one tap each.
-
Six slots
Header or footer, in the left, center or right — wherever the page wants its number.
-
Three fonts, any size
Times New Roman, Helvetica or Courier, from 6 up to 28.
-
Only the pages you pick
1-10, 12-, odd, even or lists like 2,4,6,10 — number a section without touching the rest.
-
Number from any start
“Start numbering from” continues a run — set 5 when the file follows an earlier document.
-
Private by default
No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.

Rule: page 1 of the document gets this number and every later page adds 1 — Start 0 → page 1 shows 0, page 2 shows 1; Start 5 → page 1 shows 5, page 2 shows 6. “Apply only to pages” only hides the stamp — it does not restart the count.
