Page numbering guide
How to add page numbers to a PDF
Add page numbers directly to a PDF in your browser. Choose where the numbers appear, pick a numbering format, control the font size and page margin, then download a new numbered copy.
Add your PDF
Select one PDF from your device. Fylento checks the file and page count before numbering it.
Choose numbering settings
Set the page position, number format, first numbered PDF page, starting number, font size, and page margin.
Preview and download
Check the numbering preview, then Fylento writes the page numbers into a new PDF and downloads it.
Choose the page number format
Fylento supports four simple numbering styles so the result can match different document conventions.
1
A plain number with no extra text.
Page 1
Adds the word “Page” before the number.
1 of 10
Shows the current number together with the total page count.
Page 1 of 10
Combines the “Page” label with the current and total page numbers.
Control where numbering begins and where it appears
Fylento lets you keep title pages or cover pages unnumbered and choose where the page number sits on each numbered page.
Start numbering on a later PDF page
For example, you can leave the cover page untouched and begin numbering on PDF page 2.
Choose the starting number
The visible numbering can start at 0, 1, or another number even when numbering begins later in the document.
Six page positions
Place numbering at the top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right.
Adjustable size and margin
Set the page-number font size from 8 to 32 and the edge margin from 8 to 72.
Page numbers are added as PDF text
Fylento loads the original PDF and draws the new page-number text onto its pages. The document is not intentionally converted into page images just to add numbering.
Original page content stays intact
Existing text, images, and page graphics remain part of the original PDF while the new number text is added.
Standard embedded font
The current tool uses Helvetica for the page-number text and writes it in black.
Add page numbers privately in your browser
The numbering operation runs on your device. Your PDF does not need to be uploaded to a remote document service just to add page numbers.
Local PDF processing
Fylento reads the PDF and writes the page-number text directly in your browser.
No added watermark
The downloaded document contains the numbering you requested without a Fylento promotional watermark.
When PDF page numbering is useful
Add Page Numbers FAQ
Can I skip the first page?
Yes. Set “Start numbering on PDF page” to 2 or another later page to leave earlier pages without added numbering.
Can the visible numbering start at a different number?
Yes. Use “Starting number” to begin the visible sequence at 0, 1, or another value.
Can I add “Page 1 of 10” style numbering?
Yes. Choose the “Page 1 of 10” format to include both the current page number and total page count.
Does adding page numbers flatten the PDF?
No. Fylento draws new text onto the original PDF pages rather than intentionally converting every page into an image.
Does Fylento upload my PDF?
No. The current Add Page Numbers tool processes the document locally in your browser.
