Frequently asked questions

Where can the page numbers be placed?

You can position numbers at the top or bottom of the page, aligned left, center, or right.

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set any starting number — useful when your document is part of a larger series.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every PDFLark tool is completely free with no daily limits, no file-count caps, and no watermarks added to your documents.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, which is why PDFLark works even on private or confidential documents.

Do I need to create an account?

No account, no email, and no sign-up. Open the tool, add your file, and download the result.
