All processing happens in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server. How to verify
Professional documents need page numbers — for referencing in meetings, for printing, for making long documents navigable. But uploading a sensitive document to a random online tool just to add numbers is unnecessary risk.
Pulsyr's page numbering tool stamps numbers onto every page of your PDF entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your document stays on your device.

Frequently asked questions
What format are the page numbers?▼
They appear as 'N / total' (e.g. '3 / 12') so readers can see both the current page and the total length.
Can I skip the first page (like a title page)?▼
The current tool numbers every page including the first. To skip the title page, delete it with Organize PDF first, number the remaining pages, then merge the title back.
Is my PDF uploaded to add page numbers?▼
No. The tool uses pdf-lib running in your browser to draw the numbers directly on each page. Your document is never uploaded.
