Common Questions

Quick answers to the most asked questions about our PDF numbering tool.

Does this tool alter my original PDF quality?
No, your original content remains untouched. Page numbers are added as clean vector overlays without re-encoding or compressing your file. All images, fonts, links, and formatting stay perfectly preserved.
Is there a limit on file size or page count?
There are no enforced limits — your browser's available memory is the only constraint. The tool efficiently handles large files and documents with thousands of pages.
Can I skip numbering on certain pages?
Yes! You can exclude specific pages like cover sheets, title pages, or blank pages from numbering. The tool automatically adjusts numbering sequence for remaining pages.
Is my document safe from being stored or shared?
Absolutely. We don't upload, store, or transmit any files. Everything runs in your browser — your documents are automatically deleted from memory when you close the tab or refresh the page.
What numbering formats are supported?
We support standard numeric (1, 2, 3), roman numerals (i, ii, iii), alphabetical (a, b, c), and custom formats like "Page X of Y" for comprehensive document management.
