All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files are never uploaded to any server and never used to train AI models.
Place numbers at bottom-center, bottom-right, top-left, or any footer/header position.
Choose Arabic (1, 2, 3) or Roman (i, ii, iii) numeral styles.
Start numbering from any page number — useful for chapters or appendices.
LovePDFs is a completely free alternative to Adobe Acrobat, Smallpdf, and ilovepdf. Unlike other online tools that upload your files to remote servers, LovePDFs processes everything in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your files never leave your device — not even for a second.
This makes LovePDFs the right choice for sensitive documents — contracts, medical records, financial files, government forms, and anything you wouldn't want sent to a third-party server. It's also the only major PDF tool suite that is GDPR-friendly by design, since no personal data or file content ever leaves your browser.
Upload your PDF to LovePDFs, choose your number position and format, and click Add Page Numbers. No Adobe Acrobat needed.
Set the starting page number to your desired value. For example, starting from 5 will number pages 5, 6, 7... from the first page.
Yes — open LovePDFs on any mobile browser, upload your PDF, configure page numbers, and download. Works on iPhone and Android.
