How it works
This tool uses pdf-lib to write a small text label on each page. You control which PDF page starts receiving numbers, the first number value, and the placement. The result is a new PDF downloaded to your device.
- Start on PDF page lets you skip cover pages or title pages.
- Format supports {n} as a placeholder for the page number.
- All changes are applied locally in your browser. No upload required.
