Upload PDF, pick position. Small gray Page i of N in margin outside content, 24pt edge, top 30pt.
Files local, pdf-lib CDN only. Content untouched.
Overlap: Safe normal margins, check full-bleed.
Start 1: Always 1. Roman front needs editor.
Limits: Style fixed gray 10pt, 50 MB max.
Dissertation filing: Austin grad students filing $200 dissertations number every page committees reference in defenses. Seattle nonprofits printing $15,000 annual reports keep donor pages citable on 09/22/2026.
Consulting decks: Chicago consultants delivering $50,000 strategy decks number slides-turned-PDF for workshop navigation. Denver architects stamping $400,000 plan sets keep sheet order unambiguous.
Claims pagination: Miami adjusters paginating $25,000 claim files give attorneys stable references. New York publishers prepping $300,000 textbooks verify front-matter restarts separately.
Margin safety: 24pt edges suit normal layouts; full-bleed art needs manual review of first pages.
Fixed style scope: Gray 10pt always — custom fonts need desktop editors, not this one-click stamper.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will it overlap my content?
- It sits 24pt from the edge — safe for normal margins. Full-bleed designs may collide; check the first pages.
- Can I start numbering from a different number?
- Not in this tool — numbering always starts at 1. Roman-numeral front matter needs a dedicated editor.
- Does it change anything else?
- No. Only the labels are added; all existing content, fonts, and images pass through untouched.
- Roman numerals?
- Not here — numbering starts at 1 always. Front matter needs a desktop editor pass first.
- 50 MB limit?
- Browser memory safety. Compress scans or split, number halves, then merge.
- Stored anywhere?
- No. Processing runs locally in your browser. No file is uploaded or stored.
