Why a no-upload PDF tool is safer
Most online PDF sites upload your file to their servers, process it there and send it back. This tool runs open-source PDF libraries (pdf-lib and PDF.js) directly in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
Because the work happens on your device, very large files are faster on a computer than on a phone.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Files are opened and processed inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or shared, so it is safe for contracts, IDs and bank statements.
Can I skip the cover page?
Yes. Tick "Skip the first page" and numbering starts on page 2 with your start number.
Can I start from a number other than 1?
Yes. Enter any start number from 0 to 99999.
Where can the numbers go?
Top or bottom, left, center or right.
What is the size limit?
PDFs up to 100 MB.
Will the numbers be correct on rotated pages?
Yes. Numbers are placed according to how each page is displayed, so they appear upright.
