Questions & answers
01Where are page numbers usually placed?
Bottom center or the bottom outer corner are the typographic conventions for documents; headers are more common in books. Bottom center, used here, is the safest choice for reports and contracts.
02What format do the numbers use?
Each page gets "current / total" (for example 3 / 12) centered in the bottom margin, in a neutral font that fits most documents.
03Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. The numbering is added locally in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
04Is Add Page Numbers free to use?
Yes, Add Page Numbers is completely free, with no sign-up and no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
