Frequently asked questions
Is Add Page Numbers free to use?
Yes. Add Page Numbers is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Add Page Numbers upload your file to a server?
No. Add Page Numbers processes your file inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Add Page Numbers.
Do I need to install anything to use Add Page Numbers?
No installation is needed. Add Page Numbers runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Add Page Numbers on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Add Page Numbers interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your file when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Add Page Numbers keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
