Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. FyleTools processes everything directly in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I start numbering from a specific page?
Yes. You can set the starting number to any value. For example, start from page 3 if your document has a cover page and table of contents.
What number formats are available?
You can use simple numbers (1, 2, 3), 'Page N' format, or 'Page N of Total' format. Custom formats using {n} and {total} placeholders are also supported.
Can I remove page numbers later?
Page numbers are embedded into the PDF content. To remove them, you would need to use the original file without numbers. Always keep your original files.
Can I choose different positions for page numbers?
Yes. Place numbers at the bottom center, bottom left, bottom right, top center, top left, top right, or center of each page.
Can I start numbering from a page other than 1?
Yes. Set the starting number to any value. This is useful when your PDF is part of a larger document.
Does this work on my phone?
Yes. Upload your PDF, choose position and format, and download the numbered version — all from your mobile browser.
Can I add page numbers to specific pages only?
Page numbers are added to all pages. To number specific pages, split your PDF first, add numbers to the desired section, then merge.
