Frequently asked questions

Is the oMyPDF page numbers tool free?

Yes. Adding page numbers is 100% free with no watermark and no sign-up required.

Can I start numbering from a specific number?

Yes. Set 'Start at' to any value — useful when your document continues from another, or when you skip a cover page.

Can I skip the first page?

Yes. Choose 'All except first page' under Apply to, or enter a custom page range like 2-10.

Can I customise the text?

Yes. Pick a preset like 'Page 1 of N', or choose Custom and write your own using {n} for the number and {N} for the total.

Are my files safe?

PDFs under 15 MB are processed entirely in your browser and never leave your device. Larger files are sent over an encrypted connection, processed immediately, and deleted right after.
