Can I start page numbering after the cover page?

Yes. Use the page range field or start-on-page control to begin numbering from any PDF page while keeping the first printed number independent.

Can I add Page X of Y style numbers?

Yes. Templates include number only, Page X, Page X of Y, X / Y, Roman numerals, letters, and custom prefix or suffix text.

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Files are numbered locally in the browser and are not uploaded to AfroTools.

Free PDF Page Numbering Tool

AfroTools adds page numbers to PDF files directly in your browser. Choose where numbering starts, which pages receive numbers, and how the text should look. You can create simple numbers, Page X of Y labels, Roman numerals, lettered appendices, or custom prefix and suffix formats.

Page Ranges, Styling, and Batch Export

Use page ranges such as 1-3, 5, start numbering after a cover page, apply odd or even page subsets, mirror left and right positions for facing pages, change font family, size, color, opacity, margins, and rotation, then download one numbered PDF or a ZIP of batch outputs.

Designed for Real Documents

The tool is useful for contracts, legal packets, business reports, school papers, books, grant applications, tenders, manuals, and scanned PDFs that need visible page references before sharing or printing.

Can I skip the cover page?

Yes. Set Start On PDF Page to 2 or enter a page range that begins after the cover. The first printed number can still be 1.

Can I add page numbers to only some pages?

Yes. Enter page ranges such as 1-3, 8, 10-14, then optionally apply only odd or even pages inside that range.

Can I make Page 001 or Appendix A style labels?

Yes. Use leading zeros for 001 style labels, letter templates for appendix-style labels, or prefix and suffix fields for custom text.

Will this upload my PDF?

No. Page numbering runs locally in your browser using PDF libraries loaded from AfroTools assets.
