How it works

Three steps, no waiting on a server

Altto's page-numbering tool works right in your browser tab, so there's no upload queue and no “processing your file” spinner tied to someone else's servers.

01

Add your PDF

Drop in the PDF you want numbered.

02

Set position and format

Choose where the numbers go, what page to start counting from, and the format.

03

Save your PDF

Get back the same document with clean page numbers stamped onto every page.

Why this runs in your browser, not on a server

Even a simple task like numbering pages usually means handing a document to a stranger’s server first. Altto skips that step completely — there’s no server for it to go to.

  • Nothing is uploaded, everEvery PDF is handled by code that runs in this browser tab, because there’s no server on the other end. That also means we can’t see it, copy it or keep it.
  • No account, no email wallNumber as many PDFs as you like without signing up or handing over an email address.
  • Only a small number is addedThe rest of each page — text, images, layout — is untouched.

documents stored on our servers. There’s no server involved at all — the numbered PDF is built once, then everything happens locally.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The practical details on what this tool can and can’t do. Want to trim the margins too? See Crop PDF.

Can I start numbering somewhere other than 1?
Yes — set “Start at” to whatever number you want the first page to show, useful if this PDF continues on from another document.
Where can the numbers go?
Bottom center, bottom right, top center, or top right — pick whichever matches how you print or file your documents.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No — nothing is ever uploaded. The file is loaded and stamped entirely inside this browser tab. There's no server involved at all, so there's nothing for Altto to see, copy or keep.
Will this affect the rest of my document?
No. Only a small page number is added to each page — everything else stays exactly as it was.
Can I number a password-protected PDF?
Not directly — unlock it first with our Unlock PDF tool, then add numbers here.
Do you keep a copy of my document?
No. There's no upload, so there's nothing on our side to keep. See the Privacy Policy for details.
