What this tool does

Add a quiet footer or header page number to a document that will be printed, reviewed, or filed. Choose the starting number and position; the PDF is stamped locally.

A finished document without a PDF editor. Everything runs in your browser; your file is not uploaded.

Good fit

Print packets, board packs, manuscripts, and documents assembled from several files.

Not a fit

Documents that already have page numbers; adding a second set creates confusion.

Readable by default

Small Helvetica numbers sit in the margin without covering the body text.

Start anywhere

Useful when the first page is a cover and the body should begin at page 1.

Browser-first

Everything runs in your browser; your file is not uploaded.

No install, no lock-in
