When to use Add Page Numbers

Add Page Numbers is useful for school work, invoices, reports, contracts, scanned paperwork, client files, and any PDF task where you need a clean result without installing desktop software.

Privacy, limits, and output quality

The file work happens in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to FilesFlow servers, which keeps private documents faster to process and easier to control.

For best results, start from a healthy source PDF and keep a backup of the original file. If the PDF came from a scanner, check the output carefully because scanned pages are usually image-heavy and can behave differently from text-based PDFs.

How PDF Tools work stays simple

Choose a browser-based PDF tool when the job is simple, private, and urgent. For heavily edited legal documents, complex forms, or files that require professional prepress controls, a dedicated desktop editor may still be the better final step.
